OTMT 635 Management Consulting-Practice and Profession (2)

The course will begin with an introduction to the consulting industry and acquiring an understanding of the business model, especially the profit model for larger global firms. The consulting life cycle, starting from the sales and marketing, scoping, proposal, project delivery, client communication, and engagement wrap-up will comprise the remainder of the course. Course work will be done in teams and the modus operandi will be that of “action.” Students will be given opportunities to write proposals, conduct presentations, prepare project plans, and participate in role plays. Cases and course readings will help provide context-sensitive material to the topics in the class.
