Action-Based Learning Projects:
MAP & Consulting Studio
The BASF MAP team conducted a thorough examination of a specific battery market with the goal of making recommendations for product development and market entry strategy. The team investigated markets, customers, and applications over the course of the project. At the project's conclusion, the MAP team provided a clear product plan and market strategy corroborated by market analyses.
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.
IHS turned to the MAP Program for assistance in improving patient access to medicine in South Africa and other developing countries. The team addressed three separate objectives relating to a “direct delivery strategy” (DDS) for medicines: analyzing whether the national government could manage the system; considering the role of possible IT solutions to help the process; and recommending other countries where DDS could be implemented. The team produced a five-year and 10-year master plan.
