CONSULTING & GENERAL MANAGEMENT PLATFORM


Olin designed the Consulting & General Management Platform for MBA students interested in careers with one of two distinguishing characteristics: (a) a consultative approach to problem-solving, as an internal consultant or working as a professional in a consultancy, or (b) employment in organizations where solutions to such problems typically require engagement across multiple functional domains.

The specific concentrations in this Platform include careers in consultancies (strategy, human resources, and economics/finance); ‘internal’ consulting positions within large organizations; and, ‘rotational leadership’ and other developmental programs that lead to general management positions where graduates lead business units or firms. This platform also serves as a foundation for students interested in the Business of Healthcare, Entrepreneurship, and International Management.
