Management Study Guide
1. We have covered a lot of material over the past two months. The final examination will consist of 10 short answer questions and 2 case study questions.

Ensure you thoroughly read the case study provided with your final before answering the two case study questions. The exam counts towards 30% of your final grade and one cannot pass the course without completing the proctored exam. The examination is a closed resource examination; consequently, no books or notes will be allowed. You will have two hours to complete the examination. The final examination is comprehensive. It includes material in Chapters 1 - 20.
