Have you ever dreamed of climbing the Great Wall of China? How about consulting to a Chinese firm in Beijing?We are in the process of planning the Fall 2015 International Consulting Project Asia, a 3-credit course that involves consulting work during the fall semester on campus, with a trip to Beijing in January, 2016 to deliver the team’s recommendation personally to the client, at their offices. This is the 14th year in a row that this program has been offered, and the 13th with our current client.
A new, informational ICP Asia web site is available at http://languageofbusiness.biz/icp-home/, including student testimonials, videos, pictures, published articles in Chinese and English, and past project descriptions.
Here is a recent student testimonial:
My experience with ICP Asia was one of the best experiences I had at Boston College! Not only did I travel to Beijing, China to see the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, enjoy the nightlife and experience every day life, but it was also an immensely positive learning experience. I enjoyed working with professional consultants at CCAFM, a boutique consulting firm in China. Together, my team from Boston College paired with consultants at CCAFM on a project which entailed analysis of non-performing loans in the United States and in Europe. Before this project I understood little about non-performing loans, let alone enough to advise clients on how to invest in them. I really liked learning about a topic that has such relevance to what’s happening in the financial markets right now. Semester long research culminated in an awesome presentation to CCAFM and their client!
And aside from a great assignment and sightseeing in China, I also enjoyed working with students from other graduate schools at Boston College. I met really cool people that I otherwise would not have. In what other class can you karaoke in suits, at lunch, in China, with colleagues from BC schools of law, business and social work?!ICP Asia was a great opportunity to work on an interesting and current consulting project, learn how business is done in China, meet new people, see new sights, and celebrate Beijing-style at night.
