The Rollins MBA at the Crummer Graduate School of Business and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando are pleased to announce they are working together on a Domestic Consulting Project Program to provide management consulting and advice to Hispanic-owned businesses, including Closed Caption Latina (CCL) and NR Electronics.
For CCL, students are conducting research on the viewing habits of Hispanic audiences in five U.S. cities and are advising company officials on how to market CCL’s translation services. For NR Electronics, student consultants are developing an entry plan for the Mexican electronics recycling and electronic components distribution markets.
Both companies are winners of the prestigious 2008 Don Quixote Awards, presented annually by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund in recognition of the most successful Hispanic entrepreneurs and leaders in Central Florida.
“We are delighted to be working with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando and believe the partnership will offer many opportunities for our students to address business challenges that are both local and global in nature,” said Dr. Robert Prescott, visiting associate professor of management for the Rollins MBA and director of the program. “The unique product offerings of both CCL and NR Electronics provide our students with exciting projects that will allow them to engage in real-world business activity while earning their MBAs.”
Each year, students participate in the Domestic Consulting Project Program, which has become a cornerstone of the Crummer Business School’s commitment to experiential learning and an integral part of the curriculum. Through the Program, companies, organizations and entrepreneurs identify a project they would like to see addressed and a team of students carries out the project over a specific semester.
Rollins MBA students participating in the Domestic Consulting Project Program will work with different Hispanic Chamber of Commerce members every year to provide management consulting as a result of this innovative partnership.
“We are excited to work once again with the Rollins MBA to provide these consulting opportunities for Chamber members,” said Ramon Ojeda, president of the award-winning Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “The research that Rollins MBA students are conducting and their recommendations for expanding member businesses are valuable tools for growth as all of Central Florida’s businesses weather this difficult recession.”
