Teaching methods

The course will be online at canvas.laurea.fi. Laurea students can access the course once registered and accepted. Campusonline students will be given studentnumber@laurea.fi, which they have to register (get password) and then access the platform.

The course will consist of five weekly meetings starting Monday February 27th 16- c17.30 (see tentative dates below). Students will be asked to conduct a literature search on strategy and to pick 10 articles and review one article to share with others. From the combined pool of articles we will choose 10, which students will read and discuss in the weekly meetings. Students will also need to complete a team task in which they design a strategy for the company they choose. A student may opt to do the task alone. Attendance in class (online meetings) will affect the final grade.
