online communication operational performance management research supply chainAre you looking for some fresh thinking for your business? Bring on students from Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. A team of around 5-6 students will work on one challenge over the course of the project, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students undertaking these projects will apply their learning about the global supply chain and the principles and concepts underlying the strategic and operational performance of organisations in relation to one another - how to manage effectively in increasingly global work environments.
Please note: If you are interested in this project contact between Nottingham Business School and your organisation will take place outside of the Riipen platform. Likewise, the student project will take place off-platform. This format has been agreed with Riipen in advance.
DELIVERABLES
At the end of the project the team of students will report back to you their research findings conclusions and recommendations.
This will be delivered in the following formats:
- A 30 minute oral presentation facilitated by their academic supervisor, including a Q&A
- A 3,000 - 4,000 word report summarising their research, analysis, insights and recommendations, plus any appendices and references
