They are proficient in business process analysis, identifying and addressing challenges and opportunities within an organization. Applying academic theories and industry concepts, they develop practical solutions tailored to real-world business problems. Their expertise covers areas such as Project management, Strategic Management, Organizational structure and alike. When companies partner with our learners, they receive innovative and strategic business solutions. Our students will analyze your business to uncover strategical weaknesses and improvement opportunities in key areas like Project management, Strategic management and Organizational structure. They will also identify business opportunities and develop strategic plans to support your organization’s growth. Through effective team-based collaboration, our students work closely with employers and stakeholders to deliver project outcomes. Their work adheres to ethical and legal standards, ensuring all recommendations are responsible and compliant. In the end, companies gain valuable insights and solutions tailored to their specific needs.

Students will work with a small business (client) throughout the term and will deliver the following: 1. Organizational diagnosis 2. Project proposal 3. Revised proposal 4. Final project report and presentation How companies will benefit: This course (BUSI 660 - Small Business Management) is a capstone project/exit course for the UCW MBA students - meaning, the small business will get to work with the final term MBA students. Students already have diverse academic and professional experiences before joining the MBA program. Now, they are just one step (term) away from earning an MBA degree. It will be a great opportunity for the small business to work with the MBA students who will actively engage with and contribute to the small business from diagnosis of the problems/challenges to writing a proposal to executing a final project report and presentation.

The MBA students are in a capstone project-based course, designed for students in the final term of their MBA program. The course has a strong analytical, applied, and experiential orientation. Students work in groups of 4-5 to focus on a challenge/opportunity for the business. The students' process - and ultimate deliverable will include a current analysis of the business, problem or opportunity identification, research (as applicable), recommended solutions/strategy with implementation plan, budget and finally, risk identification and mitigation strategies (again, as applicable). The project can be for a Canadian business of any size, however enterprises run by solo-preneurs would probably not provide the necessary scope.

This semester students working in groups of 5-6 will apply their knowledge in marketing to help your organization seize a marketing opportunity, develop a strategic marketing plan, or solve a current marketing challenge. The students will use marketing research, strategy, digital promotional tools, and marketing best practices to create a report and presentation.
