INTB 6500 – International Business Consulting Online
Instructor: Merrily Kautt
This dynamic, hands-on elective course offers graduate students the opportunity to work directly with a company’s CEO throughout the semester to expand the company’s international business strategically, operationally, technologically and functionally. This course differs from others due to its very minimal structure at the onset. Working with the CEO, students task themselves to create an organic strategic plan with timeline and implementation steps that are immediately employed by the firm. Outcomes for students include “on the job” strategic and tactical experience from the ground up that complements – but does not fit neatly in – the typical lecture-style classroom setting. Students meet with the CEO and executive team throughout the semester for mini-presentations and feedback. This semester we will be consulting to San Jose, California–based Solix Technologies and its digital Touch-A-Life Foundation. This will be our fourth project for Solix. Examples of other past projects include Molson Coors Beer (Dubai), Denver Beer Company (Japan), Mikron Corporation (global) – three times, Grease Monkey International (Peru, Colombia, Canada) – three times. Students have been offered internships and full-time positions from client companies in the past. Connections to discuss the course with past students are available.
Note: This course may be taken more than one time due to its unique corporate content each semester.
