Group Assignment
Your group will be assigned one Live Case Challenge presented on Monday.

Integrate the “discipline specific” analyses into one meta-analysis, with clear conclusions supported by analysis for your Challenge .. if possible.
Present analyses of your Challenge and the more theoretical/analytical parts for Discipline Teachers (max 15 min) on Friday morning. Be prepared to explain and defend your analyses.
Present (analysis and) conclusions for your Challenge (max 10 minutes) for Live Case Company Managers on Friday afternoon. Be prepared to elaborate, explain, and clarify.
Submit on Courseweb a 1200-2000 word memo with main arguments and conclusions of your analysis, ensuring relevance for Live Case Company Management by Friday, Nov 15, 8:30 am.

What We Expect From You
Listen carefully to the presentation of the Live Case Company and its Challenges on Monday morning. Take notes and think about questions to pose to Managers after lunch.
Do any kind of data collection you need. Use publicly available sources and social media.
You are allowed to send one email/group with all questions to the Live Case Contacts before 12:00 pm on Wednesday at the latest. Do not “hunt down” Live Case Managers or other Live Case employees.
Develop and present theory-driven analyses with consistent conclusions.
Prepare an understandable, relevant - ‘professional’ - presentation and written memo for Live Case Managers based on your theory driven analysis. The more theoretical part need not be presented for the Live Case Company.
You are responsible for running this project, not your teachers. You are expected to work full time - but not 24h/day! All students need to be in class for all Live Case sessions.
