In-company project

As part of your elective choice, you may opt to undertake an in-company project. The project enables you to apply your learning to an issue concerning your own, or any other organisation.

The optional project will focus on a real world situation. It is your opportunity to provide a substantial, tangible benefit to your company, as you apply the latest trends and research in management thinking. Supervised by a faculty member, the project helps to demonstrate your ability to identify and understand general management challenges, and to evaluate and implement solutions.

Potential topics might include:

• Should your organisation be restructured?
• Should your company's product be re-positioned in the market?
• Are there strategic alliances your organisation should form?
• Can incentives, such as profit-sharing, be introduced to improve managerial performance?
• How might a merger successfully unite two different corporate cultures?
• Where should your firm locate its planned new plant?
• Should IT be carried out in-house or contracted out?
