MBA5313 MBA Labs: New venture start-up project

The MBA Labs: New venture start-up project reflects the innovative, applied and research-orientated ethos of Monash University. The MBA Labs will function as a business laboratory, in which ideas are tried and tested, critiqued and improved. The spirit of discovery, enterprise and progress will be evident in the process and the outcomes; the cycle of practice and reflection will exemplify the experience.

In this MBA applied consulting project, you integrate your knowledge of Modules 1, 2 and 3 to address the opportunities and/or challenges of host business organisations. Under the supervision of your professors, and with the support of a nominated project sponsor, you and a team work with new venture founders to analyse the start-up process and experience and combine their accumulated knowledge of management theory and consulting practice to address business and organisational issues and provide recommendations for growth and development. The project may have a commercial or community purpose. The output is a presentation and report for the sponsor.
