Consulting Projects

Are you considering a new business idea and need some consultation? Would you like a fresh perspective on a business challenge you are facing? We are always developing ways to enable students to put their education and skills to the test. Your chosen mentor, along with a Gisma faculty member, will work on a task created by your organisation.

Some of our previous projects are below: 

• Africa – the next emerging market for Volkswagen LCV
  • Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Gisma University of Applied Sciences initiated a joint project, with the goal to identify which African nations offer the biggest potential for economic development and how far the automotive sector, especially light commercial vehicles, may profit from this. Between May and October 2017, students from the Magellan MBA programme at Gisma - Mohamed Fouda, Aliaksandra Babushkina, and Ayham Adi - worked on identifying relevant African economies and analysed their respective automotive conditions and market prospects.
• European market potential for 'Valve testing equipment' for Eastern European manufacturers with Bornemann Gewindetechnik
  • Bornemann is a medium-sized, family-owned business that specializes in manufacturing custom made threads and a supplier of highly customized special parts. As a traditional German company, they would like to expand beyond their current market and evaluate the possibilities of expansion. To help them decide, our students will evaluate the market and research potential competitors and clients, identify the market volume and offer a potential market entry strategy for Bornemann.
• Customer analysis and the future of online buying at smartvie GmbH
  • smartvie is a growing e-commerce platform. Launched in 2013, smartvie is the answer to the US online marketplaces. Merchants sell more cost-efficiently and hassle-free because smartvie simplifies or takes over key processes: item integration, marketing, payment, customer support and returns, relying on superior technological features. Customers get a more personalized shopping experience to make foundational buying decisions. This is achieved through a personal customer service available via several media as well as unique purchase advisors.
  • Our students will conduct a detailed customer analysis and investigate which major issues will concern the future of online buying: will it be the price, the service or a mix of both. What will be the major reasons for success? Will the brand of a company play a role? These are the questions are students looked into during their final project with smartvie.

We are proud of the proven business expertise provided by our faculties and lecturers. We are also interested in bringing your knowledge, expertise and experience to our students, to allow them to gain first-hand knowledge from experts in their chosen field.

Strong partnerships are at the core of Gisma’s thinking and we offer various ways for our partners to extend their brand reach. Unique marketing on our premises, offers for our students, or sponsorship of specific events are examples of the many options we provide.

As a marketing and branding tool, we offer you many options to address our students individually, including the option for unique courses, case studies and events.
