At the Mikkeli Campus of Aalto University in Finland, participants in the CESIM Global Challenge did their final phase of coursework for the BScBA degree in the spring (all go on exchange the following autumn). The capstone course combines finance and strategy decisions with close examination of aspects of the 'human dimensions' of students' future workplaces; a combination that has been central to each iteration since its first use in 2015. At all times participants are working, in parallel, on two questions: “What are our options for achieving the best possible return to shareholders?” and “How do we establish - and maintain - effective group dynamics within our team?”
