Students are expected to participate actively in class discussions, make presentations, write papers and complete assignments individually as well as in group projects.
Cases are used frequently to improve problem diagnosis, analysis, and creative problem-solving skills. Most cases describe complex, real organizational issues. Harvard Business School, INSEAD, Kellogg, Babson College and Darden cases are used in the program, in addition to the cases developed by Koç University faculty members. Leading executives frequently visit the school to make class presentations based on their own experiences. In classes and in project work groups, students discuss their own managerial problems and opportunities.
