Project Examples

A typical project would address a problem or issue being faced by the firm, a business unit, or a specific department. The students would meet with the primary company contact to understand the issue, the preferred approach to the project, and the project deliverables. The students would work on the project for approximately 8 weeks using primary and secondary research as tools to further understand the underlying root causes, analyze the findings, and make recommendations.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
