Students taking the Field Course will form small teams to write a paper on a topic of their choice that complements the themes of the course, based on research from public sources and interviews with managers. The instructor meets periodically with each team to develop their idea. Teams will present conclusions to the class and, at their option, to senior management of their focal company.
