Within the study framework of the International SEPT Program, students work with real cases in cooperation with selected companies worldwide. Aim is to support the participating companies to develop their markets and implement suitable strategies on the basis of regional specialized knowledge and business competences. Typically a team of 2-4 MBA students realizes a research project under the supervision of one SEPT faculty member. This service is free of charge for enterprises in order support the economic development.
In recent years, more than 60 projects with companies around the world are being implemented as part of the execution of these practical projects. Special competencies have been demonstrated in the areas of international market research and development strategies, transfer of technology, professionalization of the service development and/or branding.
