The recent volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environment has led to rapidly changing global business landscapes and organisational structures, which resulted in the need for business leaders to adapt to these changes in an innovative and agile manner. Most often, the business problems and challenges faced by global companies often involve a general management perspective with an interdisciplinary focus, spanning the various functional areas within an organisation. MGT599 Management Consulting Project provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate the business management knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the MMGT programme to create new methods or innovative solutions for an organisation. By selecting a realworld organisation of their choice, students will be able to engage in real-time workplace learning experiences that can transform businesses and impact society by doing good and creating authentic social initiatives. Possible projects include writing a business plan for a new or existing business or applying design thinking mindset to resolve ill-defined or ‘wicked’ business problems. Students are expected to identify a business problem faced by the organisation, collect primary and secondary data to uncover the challenges, and provide recommendations to the senior management of the organisation. Student are required to present and defend the management consulting proposal as well as the project findings during the course.
