Attendance. I know the multiple demands on your lives will occasionally intrude on your
ability to attend class, but more than 1-2 absences will materially affect your participation score. If
you know in advance that you will be absent, I’d appreciate your letting me know.
Participation. This class will be highly interactive. I interpret class participation in the broad
sense of positive engagement with the course. I regard comments that are relevant to the course but
made outside of class time to be evidence of positive engagement with the course (and one way for
students fearful of public speaking to participate in a less threatening manner). Forms of negative
engagement include engaging in private conversations (via computer or verbally) or other activities
unrelated to class (such as constant web-surfing), personally attacking someone or their views during
class, allowing class to be routinely disturbed by cellular phone calls, rarely coming prepared to class,
and complaining about course particulars with no suggestions for alternative approaches.
After the 6th or 7th class meeting, I will send you feedback on your participation to date – the
score I would assign for your participation if I had to do so at the mid-way point of the semester. I do
this so that there is plenty of time left in the semester for you to make adjustments, if you choose to do
so. After each class meeting, I take notes on the quality of class participation (I learn names quickly),
and it is from these notes that I arrive at my participation assessment.
Individual Memo
The individual memo will be assigned at the end of class 4 and due the following week. It will
consist of a question regarding the Loewen/SCI case and video that we’ll discuss in class 4 and will
provide a bridge to the issues of corporate social responsibility that will be the focus of the 5th class.
The memo should be 2-3 pages long (at least 1.5 line spacing, 12 point font, reasonable margins,
please do not put your name on the memo – use last 4-digits of phone number only). Further
instructions will be given at the end of class 4. The memo will be worth 5 points.
Team Industry and Competitor Analysis
My main goals in assigning this project are twofold: for teams to gain experience working with
one another prior to the simulation, and to provide an opportunity to apply the course concepts from
the first half of the course to a specific industry. The assignment consists of an in-depth analysis of an
industry and two firms within that industry. It involves a lot of external research, particularly since
5
high-quality Industry & Competitor Analyses are supported by significant data and statistics that
illustrate the magnitude of forces such as entry barriers, supplier power, etc. Project guidelines are in
the class e-room.
I am happy to read drafts of this project and comment on the draft prior to its due date. I think
as much learning goes on in responding to comments, as in writing the assignment in the first place.
This also gives you exposure to my grading style and expectations. I can generally turn around
comments within 24-48 hours of receiving the draft (depending on my teaching and other
commitments). Please make sure to leave yourself sufficient time to be able to respond to my
comments; on this project, in particular, my comments tend to be extensive and require at least a few
days to fully address. In prior sections, I generally have 3/4ths of teams submit drafts.
Team Selection and Peer Evaluations
Teams should consist of 4 to 6 members. Five members appears to be closest to the “ideal”
team size, since 4-member teams sometimes find the team assignments (particularly the simulation) are
a lot of work, while 6-member teams occasionally encounter free-riding problems. However, the
decision on team size is yours, as long as the size is between 4-6 members. I do not assign teams; it is
your responsibility to find a team in this class. Each of the initial sessions will have team break-out
tasks embedded in the class time. This will enable you to determine in advance whether you’d like to
work with a particular group of people. Teams must be finalized by the end of the third class meeting.
Please note that it is impossible to complete the course without a team – the simulation, for example,
cannot be done by just one person (even I could not play the game by myself), and the Industry &
Competitor Analysis is a large research and analytic task that would take a great deal of time if
performed alone.
There will be confidential Peer Evaluations of all team assignments. The main goals are to (1)
deter free-riding, (2) impose costs on individuals who free-ride on other team member’s work, or (3)
