Business Conundrums for MBA

This is a course dealing with Business Conundrums. The format is simple: 20 Case Studies. One per week is discussed. Each Case Study comes with:

a. a printed version which you should print before we discuss

b. some key areas identified for discussion

c. a highly interactive Instructor!

This last category (c) is significant. Each week we only focus on ONE Case Study. Any points/suggestions/comments about other Case Studies will be dismissed. We all need to focus, explore, develop and discuss.
