You are seniors. I am not here to force you to do anything.Your performance is up to you. • We can have interesting (lively discussions), or boring (lecture-laden) classes, it will be up to you. • I strive to help you gain “mastery” of the subject.I will not just ask you “What is a SWOT?”I will expect you to do one, analysing the business situation and applying the SWOT tool. • I will ask you to memorize some things that you should remember for the rest of your business life. • All opinions will be respected. But, to be accepted, they have to be backed up with data, analysis, or evaluation. Phrases that I particularly approve of: • “I agree/disagree with ___ because …” • “I have a different opinion …” • “I have something to add …” • “Can you explain your answer?”
