Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

1.1.2 Application to your own case

Course subject(s) Module 1. Complex Situations and Business Strategy

In this course in TUDelft OpenCourseWare you cannot do the assignments but we will show how the case will look like.

In every week of this course, I will help you apply the new topics of that week to a case of your own. This week is a bit different from the other weeks, as this week you are also asked to consider which situation you would like to analyse. Because of this, I will pay special attention to the selection of the case. After that, I will guide you through the first few steps of the analytical approach and make a few perspectives of different stakeholders explicit for your situation.

Every week, we will then pick up your case again and add more analytical steps each time.

It is probably most useful for you to take a business situation (you can even take multiple if you want). But as I sketched in the video and the quiz, almost any situation we encounter in our daily lives is complex, so, for that matter, you could even chose social or private life situations. However, in this course I will use mostly business examples and some public governance examples.
