Students learn in a hands-on fashion how to apply in an integrated way everything they learn in business school in this capstone course. Students gain in self-confidence, learn how to transform a business idea into a business plan, and improve their people skills in their work together in teams on a start-up project of their choice. Students will improve their project and time management skills as well as organizational skills, as the work load is demanding. Students also hone their presentation skills and gain in clarity, content and conviction.
