competitive analysis business consulting business strategy virtual collaboration communicationIs your organization seeking some extra support to solve an ongoing business-related challenge? If so, we have 3rd and 4th year business students that are seeking opportunities to help you in the form of a for-credit Business Consulting Project. This course is an undergraduate Organizational Management course on Business Consulting and is composed of students from all streams of business (i.e., human resources, marketing, finance, etc.) looking to put those business skills to good use!
Please note: We will be accepting twice as many project applications as there are student teams. Students will choose which projects they want to work with that fill their own specific skill sets during the first week of classes in September.
Learners
Your company will receive a written feedback assessment report that summarizes the project and the findings and an invitation to attend your team’s presentation.
