Ted Rogers School of Management has something unique called as Integrative week. This term (Fall 2010), we have the integration week in the 4th week of October.
This is supposed to an intense week of activity where students in the program are grouped together based on diversity and are supposed to work in teams of 6 people. They are given assignments like Case Competitions based on international scenarios. And the teams are supposed to come up with solutions based on knowledge of Strategy, Business Law, Ethics, Marketing, Human Resources, Accounting and perhaps Finance - knowledge gained from the first term.
I hope it is going to be as much fun as it is supposed to be intensive! Will blog about it once it is over!
This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.
