INTERNATIONAL CONSULTING PROJECT - ASIA

Have you ever dreamed of climbing the Great Wall of China?  How about consulting to a Chinese firm in Beijing?

We are in the process of planning the Fall 2014 International Consulting Project Asia, a 3-credit course that involves consulting work during the fall semester on campus, with a trip to Beijing in January, 2015 to deliver the team's recommendation personally to the client, at their offices.  This is the 13th year in a row that this program has been offered, and the 12th with our current client.

A new, informational ICP Asia web site is available at http://bcicp.weebly.com/, including student testimonials, videos, pictures, published articles in Chinese and English, and past project descriptions.

Depending on the client's project pipeline, we are looking for potentially up to 14 outstanding students to be part of this class working in separate teams, and comprised of students from the full-time and evening MBA, MSF and MSA programs.  Space permitting, students from the Boston College Law School and the Graduate School of Social Work will be invited to apply.  We are starting the planning process now, as we hope to choose the projects, in part, based around the students' academic and professional backgrounds.

Of course, if you have any questions beforehand, please contact Professor Gregory Stoller via email ([email protected]) or telephone (617-233-5666).

Continuous business improvement for start-ups, and established ventures: The Language of Business.
My guest is Dr. Camille Baulant from the University of Angers and this is her LinkedIn profile.  On a recent trip to France, I connected with her, and spoke in depth about the French political and economic situation. We invited her back to our studio to share some of that insightful conversation.
