• Online participation in the lectures and online assignments - 20% (before 15%)
• Case Study assignment (writing and presenting the case) - 40% (before 35%)
• Final ONLINE Exam - 40% (before 50%).The ONLINE exam will be organised in form of the digital exams with open questions for download. This is an online exam with open-end questions, answering which requires analytical skills, ability to synthesise the knowledge of different topics and apply this knowledge to the analysis of real-life business situations.

The course is organized primarily in form of ONLINE lectures, accompanied by several assignments and ONLINE presentation of the case studies.
Participants are strongly encouraged to share their opinions during ONLINE lectures and discussions, with participation being an important part of evaluation.
Most of the assignments are expected to be completed in teams, which are formed in the beginning of the course.
The ONLINE exam is conducted at the end of the course and consists of three to four open-end questions, covering the main topics learned in the course.
