Question for the Students' Space
Dear Students of General Management,
the question for the fourth Students' Space is as also very simple.
Is there a company which you would like to work for? Why? Please, think about 3 main reasons.
Again, this activity is not compulsory. But, if someone wants to take action, she or he will be more than welcome at the beginning of Monday's lecture (there is no need to book in advance and prepare slides, we will have 15 minutes to share ideas all together).
Thanks and enjoy the week end.
