B99 INTL 322Family Business Consulting Project1.5 Units
Description:As part of this module, students will take part in a team consultancy project. In a location in Italy, students will take an integrative and critical approach to applying the perspectives and disciplines covered during the BSBA Business in Europe program, and they will experience a strategic management perspective as it relates to family firms. The purpose of the consultancy project is to give students an opportunity to apply what has been learned in the program (through course lectures, readings, and case discussions) to problems in a real family firm. Teams gather information from people in the family firm through direct contact; they may supplement this information with data from the media, the organization's literature, and other secondary sources. Students should identify a relatively recent problem to analyze (i.e., this should not be an historical account of a problem and the company's solution). Teams should focus their analysis by applying the concepts from the course. While it is acceptable to incorporate several concepts from the course, students should aim for depth rather than breadth regarding the use of course concepts. The goal is to diagnose the mechanisms that are causing the problem or issue of concern in the organization. Initially, students may notice many symptoms (e.g.,, a crisis after the succession, seemingly an unhealthy family culture, low family member commitment and involvement, governance issues), but the task is to get to the underlying reason for these symptoms. Students should also be aware that sometimes the initial symptoms that we think we see are not what they appear to be. Prerequisite: participation in the Business in Europe Study Abroad Program.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
