Výukové metody
Interactive in class/online lectures based primarily on workshops, videos, discussion and brainstorming sessions with heavy involvement of the students coupled by weekly decision making rounds in the strategic game (three co-managers online outside of classroom hours). In class: Students will be provided theoretical frameworks and will be encouraged to figure out the concepts by themselves working in groups. In class: Students will be provided with case studies and discuss different approaches they would take. The teacher will provide frameworks, guidance, facilitation, and her proven approaches as part of the discussion. Videos will be provided for story-telling part + students will be presenting their own story-telling inspirational stories. The course delivers only as much theory as the graduates are likely to meet and need in the business world and students are encouraged to figure the theoretical concepts themselves wherever possible. The strategic simulation Glo-bus (glo-bus.com) will require at least 30 hours of your time outside of the classroom hours. You will be part of global competition (thousands of students from hundreds of universities world-wide). Ambitious students dedicated as much as a hundred hours to the game in the previous 6 years. My students made it to Top100 and even Top25 every year so far - with no previous experience and no financial background.
Metody hodnocení
- There will be ten in-class workshops in 2017 - students are expected to email the instructor their key take away they intend to use in real life, so 10 emails are mandatory, one after each class, within 24 hours. - There will be strategic simulation game in 2017 - amazing learning experience, a one-off opportunity to try to manage big global company and see the cause and effect of decisions that concern marketing, operations, R&D, social responsibility, salaries, advertisement, etc. Expected outside of classroom commitment is 30 - 40 hours. Students can opt-out at the beginning of the term but once registered, they have to complete all related assignments (2 quizzes, 2 practice rounds and 6 decision rounds + final presentation) on time. - Student that opt-out will get reduced assignments but also reduced learning experience.
