The case analysis will have to be handed in on 15th March (to be presented on 19th March in exercise session), and the case analysis will have to be handed in on 12th April (to be presented in on 19th April in exercise session).
The exam consists of a written group submission of case (including case analysis and case description) plus an individual oral examination based on the case. For the oral exam, students will be expected to have a PowerPoint presentation addressing one of the typically four questions of the case. It is expected that the group will develop the presentations, but it will be presented by one of the students. This will be the starting point of the oral examination. The oral examination will take place on 31st May or 1st June.
