At Some Companies, Students Are Teaching
September 2, 2010 /
Businesses are looking to students to help them learn.
Some of the top U.S. business schools have been teaming up with companies, including Urban Outfitters Inc. and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc., on programs in which students play the role of consultant—at little or no cost to the company.
Students may work on identifying acquisition targets, assessing a market segment’s viability or creating a business plan, among other topics, program directors said. At Dartmouth College’s Tuck School of Business and Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business, the programs are free; others charge the company anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000.
