Instructions

All students should read and analyze the above cases prior to the lectures

▪ In the due date each group should turn in the beginning of the lecture a typed summary containing a brief outline of the problem and how you would solve that situation. I suggest you print two copies because one should remain with the group for the discussion. ▪ Then, we will have the discussion with all the groups about the possible approaches for the solution of the case
