CASE SOLVING. A FEW NOTIONS

BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
1.

NOBODY WAS BORN BEING GOOD AT SOLVING CASES

2.

YOU LEARN TO SOLVE CASES.. .....BY SOLVING MANY CASES AND BEING
WRONG MANY TIMES.
IT IS NECESSARY TO WORK AND TO WORK HARD.
THE CONCEPTS LEARNED HELP , AND THEY ARE NECCESARY
BEFORE PREPARING THE WAY YOU ARE GONG YO MAKE THE THE
PRESENTATION , IT IS NECESSARY TO DECIDE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO
PRESENT
THE SOLUTION OF THE CASE IS IMPORTANT BUT AT LEAST (OR MORE)
IMPORTANT IS THE WAY YOU REACHED IT.
ALL PROPOSAL HAVE WEAKNESSES . THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO BE AWARE
OF THEM AND TO BE READY FOR THE QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE MADE.
IT IS NECESSARY TO REALIZE THAT WE WILL HAVE A MAXIMUM TIME FOR
PRESENTATION OF THE CASE.
THE PRESENTATION OF THE CASE IS A ROLE GAME. THE GROUP THAT
PRESENTS/SOLVES IS A CONSULTANT, AND THE JURY THE OWNER OF THE
COMPANY .
