Experience is the best teacher -- and this EMBA course provides the most divergent and colorful knowledge into every hour of learning among our executive students. In case analysis, students are introduced to the reality of decision making -- including incomplete information, time constraints, and conflicting goals -- giving you first-hand experience in analyzing new venture business situations. The exercises seek to provide not only a more in-depth understanding of specific entrepreneurship issues, but also to improve your interpersonal, leadership, and presentation skills.  Your participation in these exercises is vital to your individual success and the success of the class. Thus, absences will work to your detriment in class in the same way they do in the workplace. You will miss important information and let down your work team.

 

Please ensure that your case presentation, homework and case discussion (1) is a team effort and (2) is of professional quality. The first condition requires that (a) all questions be answered and (b) all members understand and contribute to the answer to each of the questions (so that any member is comfortable with answering or explaining any part of any question). The second condition requires (a) early and thorough proofreading for grammar, spelling, style, relevant content, supportable logic, and citation of sources, (b) appropriate dress and mannerisms to be used during the oral presentation, (c) knowing your material so well that you DO NOT READ YOUR PRESENTATION, and (d) e-mailing me your case summary homework (MS Word file) and case presentation (PowerPoint slides) one day prior to our scheduled case discussion date. Each case homework is to be no more than 3 pages, double-spaced, 12 point font, with one inch margins. Depending on the complexity of the case, each case presentation is expected to finish within 30 minutes.

 

榮譽與智慧 (Academic Integrity)

 

The University's Code of Academic Integrity is designed to ensure that the principles of academic honesty and integrity are upheld.  All students are expected to adhere to this Code.  Violations include: plagiarism* and exam misconduct. The NCTU Management School does not tolerate academic dishonesty.  On each assignment you will be asked to write out and sign by all your team members the following pledge.  "I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this exam/assignment."  

 

*Note:  Make sure not to plagiarize anyone else’s work either intentionally or unintentionally.  Plagiarism is defined as using someone else's words or ideas without proper attribution.  The proliferation of Web pages and electronic publications makes it easy for plagiarism, accidental or otherwise, to occur.  When in doubt, make sure to include a full citation either as a footnote or as a reference at the end of the paper.
