MGMT 576-Bob Spencer  

Working with actual clients,  the New Venture  Business Consulting class requires  teams of students  to analyze and deliver specific recommendations for unique projects from local  companies 

One activity common to all projects is to gather any relevant information for this task and the resources in this guide attempt to provide a starting point for this endeavor. Because each project is unique and evolves as communication between the client and the team develop during the project's duration, the resources in  this guide are general in scope. Many projects will use information from the library's databases or creditable websites as a small portion of their deliverables. 

As your liaison, please do hesitate to contact me with questions about possible information sources.
