MGT 900 Capstone: Research Methods
The Capstone is offered as a two-semester Jewish nonprofit accelerator. In the first semester, students develop research on a challenge confronting the Jewish communal ecosystem. In the second semester, students develop a business/program to address the identified challenge and bring it through a business model accelerator either as a startup organization or as a program within an existing organization. Capstone projects involve original research (such as surveys, interviews, observations, or analysis of existing data), provide hands-on experience in business model generation, and explore innovation protocols that have practical application.
