• Classroom interactive lecturing
• Self-study
• In-class group assignments to reflect on the learning
• Individual assignment, presentation and discussion

“The group assignments have not only connected us on personal level, but also on professional level as it gave us chance to exchange experiences, communicate and bring innovation with ideas arising in a shorter period. The teamwork offered the opportunity to learn from people coming from different cultures with varied work experiences and different perspectives on strategic and organizational challenges which allowed me to be exposed to different perspectives.”
