Action-Based Learning Projects:
MAP & Consulting Studio
PEAK6 is a private investment and technology firm and founding partner of the Michigan Ross FinTech Initiative. Students will provide recommendations to increase operating efficiencies within the investment team's diligence process.
Communication dependent technology is advancing rapidly leaving business decision makers struggling to establish a clear business case for adoption individual technologies and/or combined technologies. Smaller enterprises lack the depth of technical staff to dedicate time to analyzing new technology tools and the result is these companies losing comparative cost efficiency with companies that are able to make these analysis.
PepsiCo commissioned its MAP team to take the Pepsi brand "beyond the bottle." Students developed a strategic business plan detailing how to best unlock the power of the brand to generate new, alternative revenue streams that drive brand equity and relevant connections with consumers.
