IV. Organization of the seminars:
1. For the case studies: The students will be distributed, by the teacher, in five different teams. During
each seminar, each of the five teams will hand over one written report on the case study for the
respective seminar and one of the teams will present the case study (the team presenting the case study
will be selected by chance at the beginning of each seminar).
The structure of the written reports (for the case studies) is presented at point number V.
Pay attention! In order to receive a grade on the presentation, each of the members of a team should
take part in the respective presentation of the case study.
2. For the final project:
The students will form five different teams (they are going to choose the component of the teams). The
project will be solved in teams and it will be delivered to the teacher in the last seminar.
V. Structure of the written reports:
1. General presentation of the case study (Summary)
2. Identification of the problem(s), causes and negative effects:
2.1
Identification of the problem(s);

3. Identification of alternative solutions for each identified problem:
Each solution should be presented with its own advantages and disadvantages.
4. Selection of the optimal solution:
4.1. One should identify and choose the optimal solution among those presented above;
4.2. One should demonstrate that the chosen solution is the optimal one (the comparison of
the optimal solution with the rest of the alternative solutions from the advantages and
disadvantages point of view);
5. Implementation of the optimal solution:
5.1. The resources and actions that should be made in order to put into practice the optimal
solution (one should demonstrate the viability and fezability of the optimal solution).
5.2. One should present/demonstrate how the disadvantages of the optimal solution are
diminished or eliminated.
