Teaching
Teaching analytical thinking across undergraduate, graduate, MBA, Executive MBA, and doctoral education—connecting rigorous methods with real decisions.
Theory, cases & application.Teaching gives equal weight to strong theoretical foundations and practical application. Analytical concepts and methods are developed with rigor, then explored through case-based discussion, real business problems, interactive exercises, and hands-on learning in business, healthcare, logistics, and public-sector settings. Its case-based approach also reflects the tradition of Istanbul University’s School of Business and Graduate School of Business, shaped by mentorship from Harvard Business School and the Ford Foundation.
