Scheduled for the final Friday of the block, the School of Business will proudly present the Living Case analyses and recommendations from our Zurich joint-MBA students. Please comply with the following for this important event:

• Students and managers must approach this as a formal, not informal, presentation

  • Please wear business attire!

  • Discussions (including feedback) must be rigorous and include a written evaluative component to be used to determine grades)

  • The faculty will make every attempt possible to listen in on the managers’ discussions and take notes to provide feedback and evaluation

  • Managers do not consider this format as an opportunity to casually walk through; they plan on staying a couple of hours to provide thorough and complete dialogue with students. We will hold separate, intimate, and intense discussions with the students

  • Students should avail themselves of the opportunity to discuss findings with fellow classmates; however, there should always be a couple of team members manning the poster

• Have approximately 20 copies of a 1-2 page summary of your final project to hand out

• Be prepared to answer questions about your group’s work

  • Process, results, and significance

• Hand in five copies of your final report – two for your faculty members to grade, two for the Living Case client, and one for the Office files

• Have a visually interesting display of your research and findings

  • Use at least 36 point (at a minimum) for readability

  • Use color (if possible)

  • Ensure that Charts are labeled

  • Stay away from fonts that are difficult to read

  • Have a clear title to the Poster Board that clearly and easily identifies your group, your analysis, and your recommendations
