Student teams will conduct a complete strategic analysis of a company that is assigned to them by the instructor. The analysis will include a detailed analysis of the external environment as well as a review of the company’s internal operations. With the completion of the analysis teams will be able to provide the client with a comprehensive situational assessment as well as general recommendations for the management team to consider.

Student teams will come from all degree programs offered at MSU Denver and will include students who have a major in Management, Marketing, Finance, CIS, Accounting and Economics.
