Metodi didattici

Lectures and discussion: Lectures will highlight elements of the readings, provide an organizing framework for the topic of the day, and cover new material. Oral participation during the lecture sessions and case discussions will be very important. A substantial part of the benefit the student will derive from the class is a function of his/her willingness to expose his/her viewpoints and conclusions to the critical judgment of the class, as well as his/her ability to build upon and evaluate the judgments of his/her classmates. This is the reason why I will dedicate a large amount of time in class discussion.

Guest speakers: Really top profile Guest Speakers will be with us. Participation and quality of pre-preparation for these meetings will be very beneficial.

Case preparation and analysis: Cases will illustrate and expand the lectures, introduce new material, and allow for practice in business market decision-making. The cases have been carefully selected to make a series of points. Some cases may not be particularly recent. This is because a case is a pedagogical device designed to make a point, and these cases have been proven to do so well. They are not intended to be a summary of current events in a particular industry or market.
