This course is organized around projects provided by a variety of mostly for profit organizations in central Massachusetts. Teams of four to six second-year M.B.A. students are invited to work in these organizations as consultants in training. Working with guidance from Clark faculty members and managers from the host organizations, the student teams analyze their assigned projects and recommend courses of action. Management, in turn, critically evaluates and responds to the students' analysis and recommendations, in much the same manner that they respond to proposals from their own staff. Counts as Experiential Learning Requirement II for the MBA program or as an elective. Previously cross-listed with a CAP designation.
