15.900  Competitive Strategy

Applying to the X-Lab Class for the Spring Semester

Dear all,

We've had some questions from those of you interested in taking the X-Lab class (15.S03) in the Spring about how to apply.

The course does not appear on Sloanbid. Instead it has an application process, which you can find here: https://survey.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7R1ofuDOn2voQol

We will have at least two great projects waiting for you – ranging from designing and detailing an experiment on a product launch to kicking off and running an experiment around executing strategy on a global scale.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out or check the X-Lab website: http://www.BusinessExperiments.org/

Happy Holidays!

Hi all,

Congratulations on the end of class! There is one final assignment you need to complete for Competitive Strategy. It's short (will take around 5 mins).

Over the course of the semester, you all worked in teams to complete case memos. As part of this experience we would like each of you to fill out the 360 evaluation. This is an evaluation by each group member of all the other team members. Please note, this review is CONFIDENTIAL and will only be seen by the professors and TAs.

The evaluation review is located here: https://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3RfwZh7W5Nb1om9

Please complete the review by 5pm on Friday, December 9th.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let your TAs know.

Thanks,

-Your 15.900 team
