    “Based on our observation, most students are less expressive. Each group has not shown their business image, uniform is generally okay, but has not shown team solidarity, the image that should be built as a real firm/company is not yet visible, and mostly they still need coercion and encouragement,” Reza explains.
    During the last presentation, however, it seems like the teams already show their improvement. The general manager for each team managed to present their grand strategy in short time. The presentation amaze Gilang Ramadhan himself, who serve as one of the jury for the assessment. He also gives his appreciation to the students’ competency.
