The first in-class session will take place on a Wednesday night for three hours, providing for an introduction to the themes and topics of the course. Out-of-class assignments will be given and should be done during the next two weeks. These include some individual work (readings and activities), as well as some team work that you will present in later class sessions. Class sessions will be devoted to foundation lectures, discussion of assigned readings, presentation of team exercises, and case analysis. This format was designed to limit the amount of time taken from the work day.
