Project Examples
Students can develop a plan for a new or ongoing project or initiative. There are no limits to the nature of this project, and students will work with you to gather the data needed to create a successful plan.
Below is a list of project types that students can create plans for, but it is by no means exhaustive:
- Opening a new branch, domestically or overseas
- Development of a new product or service
- Internal research
- Supply chain
- Import & export of a new or existing product
- Anything related to international (or domestic) business management, which will help you fine-tune the steps/processes required to succeed in your endeavour
The students will not be executing the project tasks; they will only outline them for you.
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
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.
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 to meet remotely with students 2-3 times over the course of the project to provide them with information about your project's scope and resource requirements (see milestones for details).
