The aim of this course is to strengthen students' English speaking and writing skills, develop analytical and critical thinking abilities and practice rhetorical constructions in the context of engaging in business cases developed by leading business schools. Working in student-selected pairs and on a strict deadline, each pair will choose a case study to analyze based on their areas of interest and then present possible solutions in a final presentation, giving evidence based on independent research and discovery why their proposed solution is the best of possible alternatives. The final written and oral exams will further test the students’ critical thinking skills, as well as their analytical and rhetorical abilities in examining the business cases presented during the semester.
