Learner goals and capabilities

Given the constantly changing nature of the business environment, it is very important to understand the emergent challenges facing an organization. How should an organization react and motivate employees given its environment? In this capstone project, 200+ student-consultants working in small groups will evaluate both external and internal environments of an organization toward offering practical solutions to respond to the emergent challenges. Only the top projects will be shared with the company.

Our students will perform both macro-level and industry level external environment analysis, along with internal environment analysis, to redesign your organization (e.g. HRM, leadership/culture, etc) and will make available their findings and recommendations in the form of video pitches and written reports. This course is the capstone, practice-focused course for 3rd-year bachelor students in a Business Management degree.

The course runs for 12 weeks and students are based in Singapore.
