Second-year students, whatever their course of study, work in groups of 4 or 5 on an assignment provided by a firm concerning a challenge it is facing.

Objective: This is not a simulation, but a real situation where students must find new outlets or markets for the firm's products.
Supervision: Students work mostly on their own. They regularly meet with the department head and members of the firm concerned.
Findings: Students present their work to representatives of the firm that ordered the study.
