The Emerging Markets Consultancy Project is an opportunity to engage with a knowledgeable team of MSc IBEM students.

Building a UK Supply Chain for Emerging Markets

Our students had the opportunity to work with Fair Business Alliance Ltd to build a supply chain in the UK.

Benefits for Your Business

  • Gain insight into emerging market opportunities for your business, based on research into your business model and potential opportunities, risks and challenges
  • Use our students for a project you may not have the resources to tackle in-house
  • Receive a practical report providing the team's research, analysis and recommendations
It was a pleasure to be involved in this year's IBEM course again and we very much enjoyed the recent presentations and having the students interpret our real life business challenges from a non J&J perspective.
