Final exam
For your final assessment, you are going to pitch a “Critical Issues in Management” case study. It should follow the criteria of what constitute a critical issue presented at the beginning of the course (i.e. wicked problems). You can obviously use the cases studied during the sessions to get an idea of what represents relevant material.
You are encouraged to take advantage of your personal curiosity, professional interests and/or cultural background to identify cases that are more diverse than the ones tackled during the sessions (recognising most of them came from US or Western European, for-profit, multinational corporations).
Presentations
During Sessions 11 & 12, groups will present their pitch (see schedule at the bottom of the page), as a last opportunity for feedback before submitting the final essay. Presentations should not exceed 10 minutes and include:
Please advise: The choice of issue and stakeholders is critical to evidence the complexity of the case and show the richness of your analysis. Be specific, not generic. Complexify, don’t simplify. Subtle analysis will be valued over action plans.
Final essay
Your pitch document should include a short description of the issue at hand, along with a presentation of the organization(s) and stakeholders. You have to provide at least 10 sources from legitimate media (e.g. press articles) to evidence the case. Finally, like the ones studied in class, you should suggest an assignment for 5 five different groups (1/2 related to consulting specialties and 3/4 to other relevant stakeholders).
First tutorial
Preparing for the final exam, this week we will discuss your ideas for a CIM-like case study. You are expected to come with suggestions of companies or sectors and be able to explain how they are facing critical issues akin to a wicked problem. You do not have to all agree at this stage, and it would be normal to come to the tutorial with several ideas we could discuss.
Second tutorial
Preparing for the final exam (see reminder below), this week we will finalize your idea for a CIM-like case study. You are expected to show progress since the previous tutorial, in the form of a decision on the precise company or industry chosen and the critical issue they face. You should have conducted your research on the case, based on press articles from legitimate sources, and to identify several relevant stakeholders as a base for the assignment.
