The instructor in that class has instituted a competitive presentation ladder. Each team presents a presentation on the case studied for that week, and the class votes on who is the most effective. The least effective teams are voted out of the competition.
The case was Southwest, focusing on a period in the 1990s then they were very successful but facing increased competition from attempts by the major airlines to replicate the Southwest business model. We were presenting on the challenges and making recommendations.
Our presentation was good. We were able to find some interesting graphics buried on Southwest's site, caricatures of the leadership mixed with the planes and logo. We were short and to the point, and didn't get hung up in the process map we had studied the previous week. This isn't just our collective ego talking; several of our classmates were surprised that we'd been voted out.
So it goes. Our consolation is that now we can focus strictly on papers for that class.
