You are seniors. I am not here to force you to do anything. Your performance is up to you. We can have interesting (lively discussions), or boring (lecture-laden) classes, it will be up to you. I strive to help you gain “mastery” of the subject. I will not just ask you “What is a SWOT?” I will expect you to do one, analysing the business situation and applying the SWOT tool. I will ask you to memorize some things that you should remember for the rest of your business life. All opinions will be respected. But, to be accepted, they have to be backed up with data, analysis, or evaluation. Phrases that I particularly approve of:  “I agree/disagree with ___ because …”  “I have a different opinion …”  “I have something to add …”  “Can you explain your answer?” C A B
