The team size varies between 3 - 4 students.
At the business partners, the students learn how to solve a case as a team under time and information constraints. They also acquire practical knowledge on how to concisely present their results. The presentation of their own case is in front of the class and a relevant external business partner.
The particular learning objective here is the business judgement and the solution to a real-world business problem. The participants show their communication skills in class and in front of the external industry experts. In the written case, the students show their acquired skills in structuring an own case including the case solution.
