Ajoitus ja läsnäolo

At the beginning of the course, students are divided into case workgroups. Groups can choose their case company themselves.

Casework consists of two parts: customer experience and brands. For each part there is both lectures for the theory to be used and working period.

After groupwork work is continued individually: everyone chooses a book, reads it and then writes an essay about it reflecting also what could the case company learn and benefit from that group.

At the end there are dialogues sharing learnings from the books.

It is compulsory to participate to dialogues. Lectures also highly recommended.
