Marketing educators often use case studies as it is a form of experiential learning. However, successful case-study teaching requires students to be prepared. Yet, research shows that students are becoming more and more reluctant to reading assigned class material and their motivation is lower when teaching is done with traditional media. Students have become the virtual generation…

Building on a previous paper - which described one of the important applied teaching pilot initiatives of the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland in the field of Business creation and particularly its repercussions on marketing knowledge – the authors conducted a survey on 6 annual cohorts of participants, with the aim of assessing their individual experience…

To explore the meaning of “global culture” in a professional communication context, this paper explores the “unsettled” global culture of Vatel, a private business school educating students from nearly 50 different countries for the hospitality industry.

We propose a modeling framework for the data generating process of waste disposal in recyclable waste containers. It is based on a discrete mixture of count data models representing populations depositing dierent quantities in the containers, thus reflecting a realistic underlying behavior. It is tested on real data coming from ultrasound sensors mounted inside the containers and…
