Final business case presentation = 70% (Team)

Participation = 30% (individual)

90% to < 93%

80% to < 83%

·         The Final includes the development of an applied leadership strategy in the simulation game. The results of the game have to be critically evaluated, including a mutual peer evaluation of the team members.

·         The participation is composed out of attendance at all contact hours and the quality and quantity of contributions in class.

·         Detailed rubrics will be presented at the kick off.
