At the beginning of the course the class is divided into groups. These groups
consist preferably out of three or four people. Each group produces six assigments. These
three assignments deal with answers on the questions posed in cases and the articles.
On every Friday two or three groups will present their solution.  The presentation schedule is given two
days after the first lecture. 

50% of the final mark consists out of the average of the three marks given for group
work. The other 50% is the final mark is the mark for the closed book  examination at the
end of the course. (this last part can be done also though handig in solutions at the appropiate
days for the nine cases given in the lecture notes.)
