In an MBA program, there is always group work + it is not always easy to get together as a group.   
Until now -  NOW you can collaborate + meet online.

In this session you will:

• share a document - so that all can contribute to the work
• meet online in Google 'hangout' so that you can discuss the work with each other
• progress your work from 
• showing me what you have done...to...
• showing me how you think

Purpose:

  Practice collaborating to produce a paper or presentation - essential skills for hotel management positions.

4. Add your insights to the key points
