MBA Project - Small Business Management Summer 2025

BUSI660

Jul 22, 2025 - Sep 30, 2025

The MBA students are in a capstone project-based course, designed for students in the final term of their MBA program. The course has a strong analytical, applied, and experiential orientation. Students work in groups of 4-5 to focus on a challenge/opportunity for the business. The students' process - and ultimate deliverable will include a current analysis of the business, problem or opportunity identification, research (as applicable), recommended solutions/strategy with implementation plan, budget and finally, risk identification and mitigation strategies (again, as applicable). The project can be for a Canadian business of any size, however enterprises run by solo-preneurs would probably not provide the necessary scope.

It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Professor Dariush Daraee on this capstone project. His professionalism, responsiveness, and supportive guidance ensured a smooth experience working with both student teams. The students came well-prepared, demonstrated strong research and strategic thinking skills, and delivered insights that will genuinely inform our business planning at TiriVelo. I would gladly welcome the opportunity to collaborate again in future cohorts.

James Brown matched his students with care and made sure the student working with our organzation would be able use the project for their final MBA project. Unfortunately communication with the student was difficult, no follow ups were given by the student unles requested and deadlines for heavy review work came with little notice. The quality of the work and the final report on the project was excellent however, as per other comments!!
