The Small Business Institute® (SBI) at Plymouth State University gives MBA students a chance to serve local small businesses as members of consulting teams, earning elective course credits in the process. Working with a business faculty member, SBI teams visit their client companies, define the scope of their projects, execute the tasks they agree to complete for their clients, then prepare and present a formal report. These reports must be of professional quality. The SBI experience allows qualifying students to ground their studies in a real world experience.
