Project Examples

In the capstone project of the BComm Management degree, students will investigate a challenge or opportunity that your organization proposes, drawing on all the tools from previous courses and applying them to an outside client.

Students will define the problem, conduct a comprehensive situation analysis utilizing primary and secondary market research, formulate alternatives and recommend a viable business strategy with implementation plan.

Projects the students are well-equipped to work on include (but are not limited to):

  • Developing a business plan for a new business or new offering from an existing business
  • Developing a new product or launch plan
  • Rebranding or marketing of an existing product
  • Market research or competitive analysis
  • Expansion strategy

Note: comprehensive marketing strategy or finance projects will not be a good match for this cohort.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.

Attend one kick-off meeting and one midway check-in with students.

Attend final presentation in person, if possible, though virtual can be arranged. (December 8th)

Depending on the scope of the project, you may need to provide internal information to the students. They are able to sign NDAs in this case.
