Partner with Monroe University students to comprehensively evaluate your company's performance. By blending academic theory with practical business analysis, students will offer fresh perspectives and actionable recommendations to support your strategic growth.


Students will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your company through:

  • External and Internal Analysis: Assessing competitive forces, industry dynamics, company resources, and capabilities.
  • Strategic Assessment: Evaluating business-level and corporate strategies, conducting a SWOT analysis, and exploring growth opportunities.
  • Performance Evaluation: Analyzing recent financial data and projecting future profit margins.
  • Recommendation Development: Proposing data-driven strategies for improved organizational performance.


In turn, your organization can benefit from student-led research and fresh perspectives on:

  • Current opportunities and threats in the business environment
  • Strategies to create competitive advantages
  • Financial trends and projections
  • Practical recommendations for growth and efficiency


Your guidance is critical to the success of this experience. Providing key insights, including your company's background, industry landscape, and financial data, will help students deliver impactful recommendations. Your feedback will shape their learning journey and refine their analytical outcomes.
