Project Examples
Requirements
Beginning this September, approximately 40 MBA students will work over the course of the semester to analyze a strategic challenge or opportunity your organization faces and provide you with effective recommendations.
Student-consultants will first individually apply academic theory and personal insights to develop strategic recommendations for your organization to implement. Based on the solution they develop, they will then be put into groups of 4-5 student-consultants to collaborate and produce a final proposal for your organization.
Example projects include, but are not limited to:
- Developing a five-year growth strategy.
- Creating and implementing a diversification plan.
- Entering new markets (e.g., new products, international expansion).
- Investigating and recommending a product or service expansion opportunity.
- Developing a financial and strategic feasibility model.
- Due diligence on a merger, acquisition, or joint venture.
- External analysis of industry structure, competitive forces, and strategic groups.
Note: The best problems are those that involve the deployment, investment, or utilization of your organization's specialized resources and or capabilities to create value (economic and or social).
