Business Research Internship

3 units

This is the capstone course for overseas internship programs where students learn to apply rigorous statistical and analytical approaches to research questions in business, but not limited to questions relating to marketing, management, finance and economics, operations, and policy. Students will identify a research topic, and present this topic to Faculty supervisors for approval. The goal is to capitalize on the practical knowledge gained while interning abroad, and apply that to a research question in the area in which a student is interning. Students will be required to review the current literature on their topic, formulate their own research question, identify potential data sources they can use to address these questions, and make recommendations to add to the body of knowledge on their chosen subject.
