Business Decision Video

• The class commenced with the watching of this video. It is a compilation of news articles about each of the 11 organisations assigned to students for analysis throughout the seminar classes.

Introduction

• A brief introduction to how the seminars will operate.
  • Students have been assigned to an organisation for each of the seminars. 
  • Students need to undertake pre-class activities and where it refers to "Your organisation" it means that one that has been assigned to you (and the table you are seated at during the seminar).
  • There is a company wiki (see wiki link on webpage) for you to upload information related to your organisation. This will help with your Assignment 1 as well.
  • The seminars are an opportunity to ask questions about the theory you have covered in your pre-class activities and then to apply the theory to current real business situations.

Problems and Decisions

• Round table discussions were held within each business organisation to look at the research students had undertaken (or take the opportunity to research their organisation further)
• Each "organisation" reported back to the entire seminar with what they had found about recent problems and decisions made by their organisation.

Workshops

• In the workshops students had an opportunity to take this further by understanding the different categories of problems and decisions
