What is your teaching style like?

In strategic management I use a case-based approach where students actively debate different strategic approaches and engage in meaningful discussions about strategies for different companies. They share their opinions, challenge each other’s ideas, 偏见, and approaches in this highly active class, while also conducting a semester long strategic analysis of a company they want to work for.

 

What happens in 管理 400?

学生 are placed in teams where they develop an idea for a new business. They create a pitch, secure financing, and work together to produce and sell a product on campus. They operate the business, close it at the end of the semester, and donate their profits to a campus organization.
