Business Analysis Project

The objective of the Project is to carry out research on the proposed business subject independently or in a group. It may relate to the operation of markets or companies, the development of technology, products, services, consumer behaviour, management or other economic issues. 

The skills that we particularly want to develop are: justifying the choice of a topic (why the selected topic is important), presenting the state of knowledge on the subject, conducting relevant research and analysis, and presenting the results in written (report) and oral (presentation) form. 

 

New Venture / Product Project

Practical exercises on creating innovative business projects – hypothetical establishment and development of new companies, co-created in partnership with the StartSmart CEE – member of MIT J-WEL.  >>>more

The New Venture/Product Project provides a practical understanding how entrepreneurs approach building a business, and how corporate executives use the startup methodology within a dynamically changing context, to launch new products and/or services in the corporate setting. Each student will work in one of the two streams: i) learn how to launch a startup or ii) learn how to launch a new product/service, based on the methodology sourced from the startup world. Students, who have an idea, which they would like to turn into a business, will have a chance to work through a proven framework, validate their idea and work step by step through the selected issues when launching a startup. Students, who prefer to learn about launching a new product or service within a corporate setting, will work through the steps of evaluating the idea, and finding the product/market fit in an agile, startup-like way. The NVPP will challenge students to think of business not in a vacuum, but in a wide context considering competitive landscapes, conflicting interests, institutional gaps, global potential, market needs. Modules are designed to help seasoned executives transform their thinking and vision in a dynamic environment. The course teaches specific practical skills that are required to become an effective and successful entrepreneur and/or intrapreneur.

Consultancy Project

Solving real-life problems of existing companies. Students examine the problem, make a fact-finding trip, and deliver a consultancy report for the firm. The exercise has an international dimension.

What do you gain? The ability to define, analyze, and find solutions to real-life, complex business problems.
