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.

• 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?
