Each section contains 1) an interactive lecture component, which introduces the case study and provides a problem solving framework, and; 2) a group work component, in which students work in groups of 4-5 to tackle the case and present their solution. Students will complete the course prepared for the type of work that applies their educational background to jobs at the world’s leading companies and consulting firms.
