In this component participants choose an issue, project or theme their company is interested in exploring in detail. They undertake research and data gathering, perform analysis and produce a report under supervision of a faculty from one of the participating institutions. It is expected that the quality of report will be comparable to a top-level consultant's report on the chosen issue. A panel of faculty, who may offer suggestions for further development, will evaluate the student’s work. The students will, through this effort, provide value to companies who have sponsored them and lay a basis for future work.
