COURSE PROJECT

The project is an exciting opportunity to work closely on a current business issue. I have determined several projects in collaboration with specific companies and organizations who are looking forward to working with you.  

The deliverables of the project are a final report, an in-class presentation, and a presentation to stakeholders. Where possible, we will combine these two presentations. There are no restrictions on report length, but it should be professional, and include an executive summary. You may also choose to deliver other supporting material (spreadsheets, etc.) to the stakeholders where suitable.

Projects will be conducted in teams.
