Montana State University management class seeks businesses for consultation
| November 7, 2008 |  View for printing |
Montana State University's College of Business is seeking local and regional businesses that would be willing to offer management students practical business experience during the upcoming spring semester in return for research, issue analysis or operational advice.
The students will be enrolled in "Management 475 - Management Practicum" or "Management 463 - The Entrepreneurial Experience." Both courses are senior-level courses taught by Gary Bishop, an adjunct instructor of management.
During the four-month course, students will help manage special consulting projects requested by area for-profit and non-profit businesses and organizations. Past projects have included developing business, marketing and financial plans, identifying ways to improve businesses, suggesting solutions to problems, re-branding businesses, market and competition analysis, sales analysis, feasibility studies, and helping with human resources and customer service issues.
The MSU College of Business is taking applications from companies that may want to participate in either of these courses during the spring 2009 semester, which begins Jan. 14 and ends May 8. All types of businesses are encouraged to apply. Participating businesses will need to send a representative to one of two hour-long information sessions prior to the start of the semester. Sessions are set for 8:30-9:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2, and for 1:30-2:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 9. For more information, contact Bishop at 994-7017 or at gbishop@montana.edu.
