Sans connaitre encore le temps que dureront les mesures de distances sociales liées à la pandémie de Covid-19, et quels que soient les changements qui ont dû être opérés dans l’évaluation de la session de juin 2020 par rapport à ce que prévoit la présente fiche descriptive, de nouvelles modalités d’évaluation des unités d’enseignement peuvent encore être adoptées par l’enseignant ; des précisions sur ces modalités ont été -ou seront-communiquées par les enseignant·es aux étudiant·es dans les plus brefs délais.

Modes d'évaluation
des acquis des étudiants
Continuous evaluation (60%)
  • Date: Every week
  • Type of evaluation: Case study (document to be delivered)
  • Comments: Marks carried over into September
Examination session (40%)
  • First session:
    • Oral: No
    • Written: 3 hours
    • Type: MCQ
    • In session
  • Second session (if necessary):
    • Oral: Yes (5-15mn per student)
    • Written: No
    • Type: Questions posed to the student in spoken form
    • In session
Absorbing failure: The "absorbing failure" system is applied in the course. Thus, if a student has a grade of 8/20 or below for any of the following, this grade will be retained as the final grade for the course: i) group work (continuous evaluation) and/or ii) exam grade. If both grades for these two items are below 8/20, the lowest grade among these two grades will be retained as the final grade.

OTHER ISSUES OF CONCERN:
Exchange students: Exchange students need to take the exam (and potential resit) at LSM, on the day and time of the exam, like the other students.
Prerequisite: One course in strategy/strategic management. Because this is an advanced course in strategic management that includes assignments and materials directly related to the foundations of strategic management, this course is pitched at a level that assumes some familiarity with the basics of strategic management.
Students who register to this course certify that they have the prerequisite knowledge that is requested to be able to follow this course; the instructor will not teach these prerequisite items.
Students who do not possess these foundations can nonetheless enroll in this course, provided that they read in advance in traditional strategy textbooks and scientific articles (important references will be provided) the topics to be covered in each session; this will be expected (to be familiar with the basics of strategic management) and important (for your success in this course).
Preparation for class: Students are expected to articulate an in-depth understanding of the course material, and to prepare for class individually and with other course participants as the amount of work to be conducted is significant, with a tangible time pressure.
Attendance: Attendance is required; the real value from this course takes place in the classroom and each class including a workgroup session.
