Focusing on a family business context, this course is organized around the case study method. By focusing on family enterprise cases, the course instills in students strong analysis, recommendation and presentation abilities. The method also provides a training tool for students to be professional advisors or leaders of family enterprises. The complexity and diversity of issues that case analysis provides leads to students who actively utilize theoretical frameworks in order to ‘make sense’ of real-life situations. This further develops their skills in: problem solving, analytical tools, decision making in complex situations, coping with ambiguities, and working in teams. It is recommended that students take ENT 501 prior to taking ENT 502, but it is not required.Weekly
