1. The Personality Factor: article on the website plus slides on the website;

2. Problem Solving: slides on the website;

Dear All,

the slides about decision making are now on the website.

Thus:

1)  in terms of class materials for the mid-term exam, the following have to be studied: a) chapters 1-6 of the textbook; b) the article about systemness and evolution on the website; c) the article about Enron on the website; d) all the slides on the website, except for those entitled "StartCupLazio 2024", "Accenture Challenge: Rules and Timing", and "JETOR Consulting". Your notes during the lectures will be a value added also!

2) Booking is compulsory for the mid-term. The mid-term, as you know, will be a 1.30 minutes open-ended question test (3 questions). Rules on how to use the evaluation from the mid-term are (and have always been) on the website;

3) Anastassia Zannoni will follow up this mail with the first instructions for the McGraw Hill Operations Software, which we will start to use once back to the classroom in April.

Overall, thank you very much for all your commitment the attention and engagement so far!

Have a nice Easter break.

Best wishes.
