MBA 6100 - Innovation Project

Unit(s): 2

The Innovation Project enables students to apply knowledge acquired and concepts covered in the MBA to forge new ideas, systems, structures, and outcomes in real world companies, organizations, and/or communities in the Bay Area and beyond. Expected outcomes from participation in these projects include the ability of our students to analyze, structure, and present business problems to their clients. They should be able to develop and defend a fact-based set of recommendations rooted in solid analysis. And, they should be able to communicate these soltions effectively.Students will work either individually or in teams of no more than four. Examples of projects could include: A group of three FT MBA students work with an early stage start-up on their go-to-market strategy for an innovative new product. A PT MBA student works on a project that she and her employer have developed and which falls outside her normal scope of work. A FT MBA from Colombia returns to his home country for two months to work on a community-based project that brings sound business ideas to help solve some of the problems the community is facing
