Business Project Testimonials

Many thanks to Munich Business School. As part of a business project, five Master International Business students supported Bang & Olufsen in a market potential analysis. The students successfully analyzed a specified market, pointed out business opportunities, gave recommendations, and showed a possible entry strategy for the company. Bang & Olufsen would be very glad to work with Munich Business School again in the near future.

Maximilian Wallner, Key Account Manager, Bang & Olufsen Automotive

The business projects of Munich Business School are a great opportu- nity for us to examine current topics and questions neutrally and with a scientific background. We are always enthusiastic about the commit- ment of the teams and the project results.

Thomas Pflugbeil, Managing Director, Spessarttraum GmbH & Co. KG

The MBS business project has played a major role in the planning and implementation of our China market entry strategy. The professional approach of the MBS students to project management and the quality of their results were impressive. It has been a pleasure working with the MBS students and professors, and I would encourage other companies to participate in an MBS business project.
