Project

AIB MBA subject

What you can expect from the subject

As the final subject in your AIB MBA journey, undertaking Project marks a significant milestone on the path to achieving your MBA. In this capstone subject, you will independently research a real-world business issue or opportunity of strategic importance in your chosen organisation or industry using secondary data analysis.   

You will be leveraging the knowledge and skills developed through your MBA, demonstrating specialised knowledge and applied research by creating a real-world business case in the form of the final project report that you can use to drive change within your workplace and organisations.  

While this may sound daunting, you are not alone in this journey! Throughout the subject, you will receive support from an Online Learning Facilitator (OLF) who is a subject matter expert in your chosen discipline area whilst working alongside a cohort of classmates who are on the same journey. The subject features scaffolded assessments to help you build your final Project throughout the term, with live interactive weekly webinars providing regular check-ins with your OLF.  

You will begin your Project journey by developing a project statement supported by a review of theories and frameworks and identifying and analysing secondary data. At the end of the subject, you will complete the project by presenting your findings in a formal report that reflects your efforts across the previous eleven subjects within the AIB MBA.

Subject learning outcomes

On successful completion of Project, you will be able to:

  • Critically examine contemporary business theory and practices related to an identified enterprise (or industry) problem or opportunity.
  • Demonstrate ability to apply innovative approaches, techniques, ethical perspectives and the use of secondary data, to an identified enterprise (or industry) problem or opportunity.
  • Critically evaluate business (or industry) concepts and synthesise existing research, theory and secondary data to advise business stakeholders on business solutions.
  • Communicate evidenced-based recommendations to stakeholders clearly, persuasively and credibly.
When deciding on a topic for the project report, ask yourself:
  • Is there a case organisation or industry you would like to focus on?
  • Do you have a problem or opportunity in mind within your case organisation or industry?
  • What is happening in your external operating environment that could point to an opportunity?
  • What polices and/or practices are currently inadequate (resulting in poor performance)?
  • Do you have access to secondary data aligned with the problem or opportunity that you could analyse?
I’ve recently started my own business, and my final Project helped form a big part of my business plan. Through Project, I really wanted to understand the Canadian luxury watch industry in greater depth and see what the competition was doing. It supported me to launch a new brand into the market.
