				Hi folks: Slect your topics for the case studies presentation and report and let me know at this Monday's (March 28) class, in order for us to avoid any duplications and/or form appropriate teams should such problems arise. As you know, we are fast running out of time. As for the topic, select any #2 "end-chapter" case study from the book or a similar case from elsewhere (online etc.) if you wish. Your report and presentation will briefly summarize the case, relating it to the principles and/or theoretical issues raised in the corresponding chapter, update the case from all the related online information you can find, and then answer (discuss!) the specific questions asked.
