MGTL 560 Overview

Each student is to select an organization (privately held or publicly traded, for-profit or not-for-profit) in which the student has a special interest. The organization will be the basis of the Capstone Research Project, a paper intended to integrate what the student has learned in prior courses and in the students’ employment experience. The selected organization may or may not be one in which the student is employed. The student is to select a problem area, issue, or opportunity that is of strategic significance to the organization. The student will design a research plan for making effective and data-driven business decisions about his or her chosen strategic business challenge or opportunity. The student will also evaluate existing research and expert opinion relating to the selected strategic business challenge or opportunity. This course may not be taken until business core courses are completed. Prerequisite: Completion of all other coursework.
