Schedule of Weekly Activities Summer 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

MGT4950: Strategic Management [Online Sections 001 CRN 40165 and 002 CRN 40918]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please note the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This is\u00a0NOT A SELF-PACED CLASS<\/strong>. You must adhere to the schedule for all activities.
    \n2. Every student is expected to work on the Simulation Game on their own and with their group.
    \n3. This course is \u201cfront loaded\u201d. It means students will have to begin working hard on the first day of classes. In the first two weeks, please be prepared to work 12 -15 hours on this course due to double the pace in summer.
    \n4.\u00a0Student groups can fire non-proactive members at any time during the semester. A student being fired will immediately lose 200 points for group projects and is very likely to fail the class.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
