Project Examples

Requirements

Students can complete a substantial project to bring real results to your organization. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the project continues there may be other duties or projects the student can complete as well. A structured timeline with milestones and project deliverables will provide the best actionable outcome.

Project areas that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

  • New market entry
  • New product offerings
  • Sale of the company
  • Streamlining operations or channels
  • Changing organizational structure
  • Business & Data Analytics
  • Account & Market Planning
  • Financial & Investment Analytics
  • New business plan and government funding opportunities
  • Competitor analysis
  • Operational and Logistical research and efficiency
  • Implementation or evaluation of a software or system
  • Business process change
  • A marketing and branding initiative
  • Research & Statistics
  • Policy Research, Analysis & Development
  • Management, Strategy, HR, & Economic Consulting

The project will target in-depth at understanding a business' value chain and providing optimization suggestions. Examples of questions to be addressed in this project could be:

1) Supplier Evaluation: Who are the key potential suppliers out there that your business should consider developing a relationship within the short term and long term?

2) Supplier Market Analysis: How does the competitive relationship look like between those suppliers; any potential events that may lead to big changes in your supply landscape?

3) Logistics Optimization: Is your logistics arrangement optimized to the max? Any potential cost-saving or service improvement opportunities?
