5 Ph.D. in Sports Management Capstone Topics

Top 5 topics for a dissertation in sports management.

  • Gender in Sports
  • Football Safety Regulations
  • Role of Politics in Sport
  • Improving Random Drug Testing
  • Holding Athletes to Unrealistic Standards

To complete a Ph.D. in Sports Management, students have to fulfill the dissertation requirement that demands independent research, a lengthy write-up, and thesis defense. Sometimes, however, the beginning may seem like the most difficult part of the process as finding a good topic can be incredibly hard.

1. Gender in Sports

As one of the issues that have been in the spotlight recently, the role of gender in sports is certainly a great topic for any Ph.D. student. With the recent win of the United States female national team in soccer, which claimed the world title twice in a row, many have complained about equal pay issues. And rightly so. After all, women who participate in sports continue to only make a fraction of men’s salaries. This comes without any regard for efficiency and success as proven by the female soccer team that outranks their male counterparts in virtually every category. Thus, a topic in this area would be quite easy to research and even easier to write.

2. Football Safety Regulations

Over the past few decades, the National Football League has witnessed innumerable changes relating to the safety measures. After the current commissioner of the league, Roger Goodell, took over in 2006, the rules got even more strict. Nonetheless, the number of players who suffer from concussions or career-ending injuries is still concerningly high. Students who choose to make their sports management dissertation focused on these regulations and potential ways to improve them would have a very fun and exciting topic at their hands.

3. Role of Politics in Sport

A few years ago, Colin Kaepernick engaged what seemed to be the entire United States in a fierce battle over the role of politics in sport. His silent protest ignited a passionate response from both sides. Even after those types of protests passed, politics have found a way to get involved in every sport. Whilst the two spheres had many touching points throughout history, the growing connections between them have certainly impacted sports in a variety of ways. Students who are interested in this topic could look into the most common benefits and downsides of athletes and politicians crossing over into each others’ domains.

4. Improving Random Drug Testing

One of the most prevalent complaints when it comes to random drug testing is the fact that it sometimes appears to be everything but random. In 2018, for instance, NFL player Eric Reid was selected for a total of seven tests within just 11 weeks. According to The Guardian , statistics showed that the odds of this happening were highly improbable. The scandal was so large that the NFL was forced to issue a public statement explaining how their algorithm works. Since these types of problems are present across the board, sports management students in Ph.D. programs can seek ways to help improve the testing procedures.

5. Holding Athletes to Unrealistic Standards

Although incredibly high earnings and fame are very attractive benefits of being a successful athlete, there are quite a few downsides as well. The most dangerous one is the fact that people tend to hold these individuals to unrealistic standards. Since they are constantly under the spotlight, it is not uncommon to see them being criticized for pretty much anything that they do. Such unreasonable scrutiny can be very dangerous and push those individuals to a breaking point. Hence why a topic explaining why athletes should not be held above anyone else could be both insightful and helpful.

Students who may want to combine other topics in their dissertation can look into questions related to athletes’ pay, media’s role in sports, and so on. Those who may simply want to focus their Ph.D. in Sports Management on contemporary sports issues, however, should look into one of these five choices.

What are Capstone Projects? The Complete Guide to Capstone Projects in High School & Middle School

The Ultimate Guide to Capstone Projects

In athletics, there are competitive matches; in the performing arts, there are stage performances. If you imagine school as a series of practices, capstones are the “big game”.

They provide an opportunity for learners to get their ideas out into the world by working on a project they are passionate about while making an impact on their community.

Already know about Capstones? Skip to Capstone Project Ideas

Looking for advice skip to capstone project tips, what are capstone projects, capstone project definition.

A middle school or high school capstone is a culminating experience where students design and execute a significant and impactful project, often in their final academic year. This project requires students to apply knowledge and skills from various subjects while addressing real-world issues.

A typical capstone project includes the following stages: research, planning, execution, iteration, and presentation. It aims to showcase a student’s critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills while fostering a deep understanding of the subject matter and its practical applications.

Projects can take various forms, such as a product or service prototype, a community service initiative, an action research paper, a multimedia presentation, or a performance, depending on the educational context and the student's interests.

Why Capstones?

The value of capstone projects extends beyond academic requirements. They provide a platform for students to delve into their passions and take ownership of their educational experience. As students immerse themselves in these projects, they not only contribute to their personal growth as well-rounded students, but they also make valuable contributions to their communities.

Capstones provide an opportunity for students to learn for the sake of learning, where research is rooted in what they are actually interested in, and where all of the foundational skills built in prior years suddenly have relevance. They serve as a bridge between classroom learning and real-world application, empowering students to demonstrate their readiness to embark on their next chapter, whether that be in higher education or the workforce.

How Capstones Improve Learning

Capstones create meaning in a learner’s life that can be transformational. Our philosophy at Unrulr is: when learners see the relevancy of learning a technical skill— and it's documented, shared, and celebrated—they're going to learn it at a much faster rate than had they not seen the relevancy. Also, the data shows that capstones or senior projects can help 12th graders avoid "senioritis" by providing students with a reason to remain engaged.

The main goal of capstone projects is to promote comprehensive learning. They aim to nurture a wide range of 21st century skills that go beyond subject-specific knowledge:

Application of Learning: Capstone projects bridge the gap between theory and practice. They encourage high school students to apply what they've learned in various subjects to real-world situations, enhancing their understanding and retention of knowledge.

Deepened Understanding: By immersing themselves in a specific topic of interest, students gain a deeper understanding of complex issues and nuances that traditional classroom settings may not fully capture.

Interdisciplinary Learning: Capstone projects often require high school students to draw from multiple disciplines to address multifaceted challenges. This interdisciplinary approach nurtures a holistic view of problems and solutions.

Research Skills: Students develop research skills, from conducting literature reviews to collecting and analyzing data to interviewing key stakeholders, fostering a foundation for academic and professional pursuits.

Critical Thinking: The complexities of capstone projects demand critical thinking. Students learn to evaluate information, assess perspectives, and make well-reasoned decisions.

Problem-Solving: Engaging in capstone projects hones problem-solving abilities. Students encounter obstacles, experiment with solutions, and adapt strategies as needed.

Creativity: Students have the opportunity to explore creative solutions and innovative approaches, encouraging imaginative thinking and originality. Additionally, students have the opportunity to work on creative projects, such as art installations or performances.

Communication: Capstone projects teach students to effectively convey ideas, findings, and progress. Students refine skills in expressing complex concepts, adapting messages, collaborating in teams, and delivering confident presentations. Additionally, regular reflection moments foster self-awareness and a deeper understanding of their journey.

How Capstones Help Students Get Into College

In an increasingly competitive landscape, college admissions seek students who exhibit not only academic prowess but also a commitment to growth and a willingness to embrace challenges. High school capstone projects provide a perfect platform for students to stand out.

Learners are able to showcase evidence of who they are and what they've worked on. Regardless of GPA or SAT score, when a college can see who a learner is and what they're capable of— what they care about— it’s so much more valuable than just a narrative essay.

When detailed in college applications, capstone projects showcase a student's dedication, initiative, and ability to see a long-term project through to completion. Admissions officers recognize that these projects demand a level of commitment and resilience that goes beyond standardized testing, and indicate a student's potential for success in college and beyond.

How Capstones Prepare Students for Life After Graduation

High school capstone projects have a significant advantage: they mirror the demands of the real world. From project planning and research to time management and effective communication, students gain practical skills that extend far beyond their classrooms. The collaborative nature of many capstone projects also cultivates teamwork and interpersonal skills, essential in today's interconnected world.

Also, capstone projects often require students to engage with their communities. This engagement nurtures civic responsibility and a deep understanding of the societal impact of their work. As they identify and address real issues, students learn the value of empathy, cultural awareness, and ethical decision-making—these are critical SEL skills.

We’ve seen capstones and the work that's come out of them be used for jobs and internships. A learner is able to showcase what they've built and how they worked on it. When projects are documented, this kind of evidence is appealing to potential employers, and can be more impactful than a generic resume that blends in with the rest.

Capstones can build confidence for learners by providing an opportunity to test out ideas in the safe environment of a school. Learners can launch entrepreneurial ventures, lead impactful campaigns, or champion social justice initiatives, and then they can carry that forward after graduation and into their future careers.

Real-World Capstone Example: Student Farmers Market

High School Capstone Project Example: Student-Run Farmers Market

“Don’t let your age stop you." - Chris Blake (Trinity's teacher)

Trinity embarked on an environmental science capstone project during her senior year. Her challenge was to enhance the school's sustainability. She identified a major issue faced by her school and the larger community: the heavy reliance on imported food in Hawaiʻi.

Empowered by the agency to choose her own direction, Trinity initiated an on-campus, student-led farmer's market. Through this endeavor, she honed various skills, even delving into web design to create a  website for the market. This experience ignited her passion for sustainability and farmers markets. It also boosted her self-confidence and taught her to leverage her age to her own benefit.

After graduating and attending a youth entrepreneurship summer camp, Trinity co-founded Mauka Market , the world’s first regenerative e-commerce and pop-up marketplace. Trinity's journey has culminated in her sole ownership of Mauka Market.

To learn more about Trinity's inspiring journey, listen to our podcast episode .

Capstone Project Ideas

Here are a few more examples of middle school or high school capstone project ideas that highlight some of the possibilities:

1. Design a Sustainable Energy Solution for the School | STEM

Students in this project might investigate renewable energy sources, conduct energy audits, and propose innovative ways to reduce the school's carbon footprint and stem environmental degradation. They could then design and build wind turbines or set up solar panels and analyze the cost-effectiveness of their solutions.

2. Create a Social Impact Documentary | Humanities

Students interested in social issues might create a documentary that sheds light on a particular challenge in their community, such as mental health challenges or food insecurity. They would conduct interviews, gather data, and present their findings through a compelling film that raises awareness and encourages change.

3. Curate an Art Exhibition | Arts

Artistic students could curate an art exhibition that explores a specific theme, technique, or art movement. They would select artworks, write artist statements, and design the exhibition space to convey a narrative to visitors. Student could be encouraged to collaborate with their peers to coordinate a larger art show, providing the opportunity to develop their communication and cooperative planning skills.

4. Establish a Community or School Garden | Community Service

Students interested in a community service project might initiate a project to establish a local community or school garden. They would plan the garden layout, engage the community (or school), and document the garden's development, from seed planting to harvest. For an added STEM component, students could try different methods of gardening across multiple plots and collect and analyze data on growth rates.

5. Launch a Student-Run Business | Business & Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurial students might start a business within their school, such as a student-run café or an online store. They would handle all aspects, from market research and product development to marketing and financial management.

Personalizing Student Projects

Keep in mind, projects should be personalized to the interests and skillset of each student, while also taking into account your learning community's unique learning objects or portrait of a graduate. A well-planned capstone experience will help prepare students for college and their professional careers. Devoting class time to guide students through introspection and identity reflection will significantly aid in preparing them to generate project ideas that hold personal meaning and captivate their interest.

How to implement capstone projects

Steps to implement capstone projects

Successfully integrating capstone projects with your learners involves several crucial stages:

1. Ideation Encourage learners to explore their interests, identifying topics that resonate with them. In addition, have students consider what impact they want to create in their community. This phase is about sparking curiosity and allowing them to select projects that will hold their attention over the course of a semester or year. For a helpful exercise you can run with your students, check out our Heart, Head, and Purpose lesson plan .

2. Research: Guide students in conducting thorough research related to their chosen topics. This phase is essential for building a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding, which will inform the entire capstone journey.

3. Project Management & Planning: Teach project management skills that enable students to break their projects into manageable steps. Encourage students to create a quarter, semester, or year-long plan, depending on the duration of the capstone project. This stage emphasizes effective organization and time management, ensuring that progress remains steady.

4. Project Implementation & Documentation: This is the heart of the capstone journey. Students actively work on their projects, translating ideas into tangible outcomes. Simultaneously, they document and reflect on their progress, challenges, and successes to create a comprehensive record to draw from during their final presentations.

5. Final Presentation/Showcase: Offer students the opportunity to present their finished projects to an audience of key stakeholders at a culminating showcase event. This stage hones communication and public speaking skills, allowing learners to articulate their findings, insights, and the learning journey itself.

6. Reflection & Assessment: After completing their projects, encourage students to reflect on the entire experience. This process aids in recognizing personal growth, skill development, and the challenges overcome. Use these reflections to assess the overall effectiveness of the capstone process.

By carefully guiding learners through these stages, you create a structured and meaningful capstone experience that fosters skill development, critical thinking, and self-confidence.

Tips for running capstone projects

Sold on capstones? Here are our tips for running successful capstone projects:

Tip #1: Cultivate skills ahead of senior year (or 8th grade)

Begin laying the groundwork for capstone success by nurturing essential skills well before students reach their final year.

By initiating skill development at an earlier stage, educators can effectively equip learners with the capabilities and confidence needed to excel in their culminating project.

Tip #2: Implement weekly check-ins for clear progress tracking

Consider incorporating a weekly check-in system to keep tabs on your learners' progress. It will be the first time that many students will be embarking on a long-term project or being tasked with transforming their ideas into tangible realities. This transition can be overwhelming. To smooth this process, offer supportive scaffolding and introduce project management concepts.

By establishing weekly check-ins, you create a valuable framework for following your learners' progress and providing timely guidance.

Tip #3: Embrace your learners' identities, skills, and passions

A crucial aspect of capstone success is aligning it with your learners' unique identities, backgrounds, and life experiences. To do this, foster a culture of openness and trust through thorough ideation and an emphasis on vulnerability. Give ample space for learners to explore their interests, skills, and capacities, as well as the problems they aspire to solve in the world.

By dedicating time to these aspects, you enhance the overall value of the capstone experience.

Tip #4: Foster a capstone community

It’s important to engage essential players within the school ecosystem as you shape your program. This includes collaborating with college counseling, admissions teams, and the advancement office to facilitate mentorship opportunities for students. Equally vital is the participation of department heads (e.g. English and Social Studies) to co-create rubrics and align essential components of the capstone experience. By seamlessly weaving these elements into the fabric of existing courses, you create a continuous connection from ninth grade to twelfth grade.

Consider organizing several exhibition days throughout the capstone journey, rather than just at the end, to ensure that key stakeholders in a learner's academic journey remain informed and involved in the capstone experience. Capstones possess the remarkable potential to transform learning into a truly community-driven endeavor.

  • peer-reviewed - to find scholarly articles
  • date - typically to find the most current materials
  • subject - to find articles about a certain topic

Found too few results?

Try different search terms.

What other words could you use to describe this concept? Brainstorm related terms, synonyms, and slightly different forms of your word or phrase. Also brainstorm broader categories or concepts it belongs to, as well as narrower elements or examples. (See the keywords section above for examples.)

It may also be useful to consider the official, academic, or formal way to write that term. This is more likely to be used in academic writing.

Use fewer search terms.

Sometimes less is more! The more words, phrases, or subjects you ask the database to find, the fewer sources will meet the criteria.

Broaden your search by using the boolean operator OR to link your terms.

Example: (college OR higher education OR university) AND first-generation students AND (academic performance OR student success)

Capstones and culminating projects.

Many SPS graduate programs require students to undertake a capstone course or similar final project. Capstone courses can take the form of a workshop or independent study. Regardless of their title, such courses provide SPS students with a unique opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the skills and knowledge acquired through their studies in replacement of a master’s thesis. 

Working in teams or independently, capstone students solve real-world problems for a range of organizations. For example, the Sports Management Supervised Research Projects have had NFL staff as clients; Sustainability Management M.S. students have consulted with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and Technology Management M.S. students have worked with mentors from BP, Goldman Sachs, HBO, Prudential, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

For the culminating project of their master’s degree, SPS students present their capstone project methods, findings, and recommendations before faculty, students, and industry clients, including government and nonprofits. You may find these projects below.

149 Capstone Project Ideas & Examples – 2024

June 6, 2024

The word “capstone” originally referred to the decorative, final piece of masonry that would be affixed to the top of a new building. But in terms of schooling, what is a capstone project? Academically, “capstone” is a fitting metaphor, as a capstone project serves as a culminating, crowning illustration of your scholarly work. The capstone project synthesizes the learning you have done in various fields, demonstrates your level of expertise in your specific area of study, and often marks the end or milestone moment of a current study path. In short, it’s a big achievement! In this article, we’ve outlined a few tips for cultivating your perfect capstone thesis and have included a list of capstone project ideas to get you started.

General Capstone Writing Tips

As you select a topic for your capstone project, be sure to consider the following criteria:

Personal Interest . A capstone project is meant to be the culmination of or milestone representing your specific path of study; as such, it should be a project that actually interests you! Perhaps you’ve already been working on a passion project or long-term scholarly paper on a topic that excites you. Or maybe you’ve heard about a specific branch of inquiry within your field that you find compelling and want to explore further. Whether you’re new to a specific capstone subject or have been working on it for a while, it’s important to know that your actual interest in a subject can increase your productivity and learning. [i]

Existing Research . For any new piece of scholarship, it’s crucial to thoroughly understand and acknowledge the current knowledge and findings that exist around your thesis. As an advancing practitioner in your field of study or profession, you should already have a sense of what other scholars and experts have said about your capstone project idea, but this is a moment to fully explore: Who are the major players in this professional or scholarly conversation? What are the most important pieces of research that ground this field of study? What recent innovations have been made in this topic?

Stakes . If you’ve ever been involved in a debate or had to write a persuasive speech , you know that an important question to answer is: “So what?” Why is this capstone project idea important? What will be affected if the ideas in your capstone do or do not come to pass? What exactly is at stake here?

Examples Continued

Stakeholders . The stakeholders of a capstone are those who will be affected by the information in your project. Perhaps you’ve already engaged in community service and have seen a gap that can be filled by your particular area of expertise. Maybe you are one of the stakeholders in your research. In every capstone project, your readers should know who will be most important to your work.

Identify a gap or problem . If you’ve done your research properly, then you now know what current holes or gaps exist in your field. Make sure you frame your capstone so that your audience is aware of the work that needs to be done.

Fill the gap . This is your moment to shine! What is your specific hypothesis? What kind of research will you conduct to prove it? Specifically, how is your work contributing to this field of study? To this profession?

Feasibility and Scope . The last question you need to ask yourself is: Can I actually do this project? Do you have the time and resources to complete the work you’re proposing? Is your capstone actually doable? If you find that your project seems too big, don’t despair! Many capstone project ideas can be narrowed down for specificity and feasibility. Take a look at the example below:

Very broad:

“What are some recent developments in women’s health research?”

More specific and feasible:

“What are the most current findings on early diagnostic testing and maternal health outcomes amongst American women?”

Capstone Project Examples

Below, we’ve listed 150 capstone project examples in various fields. Think of all of these focus questions and ideas as jumping-off points. Some are very broad, while others are much more specific. Your capstone project will most likely fall under the “specific” category (see “feasibility and scope” above), but broader topics and focus questions can get you started down the path of your own particular branch of research.

  • Icon Clock 22 min read

Capstone project topics provide an opportunity for students to showcase their understanding of their chosen field by deeply exploring pertinent issues or creating innovative solutions. Some ideas can range widely, including exploring renewable energy’s viability, designing artificial intelligence (AI)-based healthcare solutions, examining the impact of digital marketing strategies on consumer behavior, or assessing strategies to increase educational accessibility in developing countries. Other topics can also involve designing a new software application, investigating the sociopolitical impact of media bias, or developing sustainable business strategies. A successful capstone project topic often reflects both the student’s personal interests and the evolving trends in their field. By analyzing diverse capstone project topics, students demonstrate academic proficiency, contribute to their fields of study, offer potential solutions, and often lay a valid groundwork for their future career path.

What Is a Capstone Project Topic and Its Purpose

According to its definition, a capstone project topic is a specific subject or area of study carefully selected by students for their final, integrative academic works, typically at the end of an undergraduate or graduate program. Such a theme must reflect students’ academic interests, expertise, and career goals within their fields of study (Linder et al., 2023). The main purpose of selecting a correct capstone project topic is to provide students with an opportunity to apply their acquired experiences, knowledge, and skills to a real-world problem or question under analysis. Moreover, studying a particular capstone subject more deeply serves as a comprehensive demonstration of a student’s ability to conduct independent research, analyze data, and present findings in a coherent and professional manner (Burke & Dempsey, 2022). By observing capstone project ideas, people become able to synthesize their learning experiences, showcase their problem-solving abilities, and prepare for future professional or academic endeavors. Finally, students need to prepare themselves for professional practice or advanced study by fostering a deep understanding of their chosen topic and honing their ability to address complex issues in their field (Elwell et al., 2021). As such, they need to pick good capstone project topics so that their final documents will achieve desired outcomes. In turn, the length of an entire capstone project topic depends on academic levels, subject complexities, and scopes of research.

Capstone Project Topics & Good Ideas

How to Choose

Choosing a good capstone project topic is crucial for a successful and rewarding academic experience. For example, students start by reflecting on their interests and strengths within their field of study to identify a specific subject for further analysis (Poulin et al., 2022). In this case, it is important to consider an actual relevance and significance of a preferred capstone project topic, ensuring such a theme addresses current issues or challenges in a study discipline. Then, people review existing literature to find gaps or areas that need further exploration and consult with professors, mentors, or industry professionals for insights and advice (Neveu & Smith, 2023). As such, a capstone project topic must be feasible within potential constraints of available resources, time, and a scope of research. In principle, a selected topic should be neither too broad nor too narrow, which allows for a thorough investigation and meaningful conclusions (Reid et al., 2022). Finally, students need to consider a potential of capstone works for practical application or contribution to their fields, which can enhance a real value and impact of their work. In turn, some steps for picking a good capstone project topic include:

  • Reflect on Your Interests and Strengths: Identify areas within your field of study that you are passionate about and where you have demonstrated strengths.
  • Consider Relevance and Significance: Ensure a preferred capstone project idea addresses current issues or challenges in your discipline.
  • Conduct a Literature Review: Review existing research to identify gaps or areas that need further exploration.
  • Seek Advice from Experts: Consult with teachers, professors, mentors, instructors, or peers for their insights and advice on a capstone project topic.
  • Evaluate Feasibility: Ensure a chosen theme is manageable and allows for a thorough investigation without being too broad or too narrow.

Academic Difference

Complexities and expectations of capstone project topics vary significantly across different academic levels, reflecting students’ evolving knowledge and skills. In high school, study themes typically involve exploring a topic of interest and applying basic research skills, and they are designed to introduce learners to a process of inquiry and presentation (Poulin et al., 2022). At the college level, capstone projects become more rigorous, requiring students to engage in more detailed research, critical analysis, and synthesis of information and address specific problems or questions within their fields of study. Further on, university capstone subjects demand deeper research and integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, expecting students to produce substantial papers or projects with comprehensive literature reviews and original insights (Linder et al., 2023). In turn, Master’s level ideas involve advanced research methodologies and applications of complex theoretical frameworks to address significant issues within a professional or academic context. Finally, Ph.D. capstone subjects are the most challenging, requiring original research that contributes new knowledge or insights to a particular field (Burke & Dempsey, 2022). Hence, each academic level depends on a previous one, requiring people to demonstrate higher levels of academic rigor, critical thinking, and practical application in their capstone project topics.

Industry Capstone Experience Opens New Career Path

Kaushal Makadia stands on the street in New York City with the spire of a building in the background.

Business Intelligence and Analytics graduate student gains valuable, real-world consulting experience with an industry-leading shipping compliance firm.

Kaushal Makadia labels her Industry Capstone Program (ICP) experience a success.

During the spring 2024 semester, the Business Intelligence and Analytics graduate student completed her semester-long consulting project with Labelmaster, an industry leader in helping companies remain compliant with regulations about dangerous goods and hazardous materials. With headquarters in Chicago and more than 200 employees, Labelmaster is one of the largest companies that participates in the Stevens ICP. The firm partners with businesses to provide software, products and services nationwide, including hazmat labels and UN-certified packaging, hazmat placards and regulatory publications, advanced technology and regulatory training.

“When I was given the list of companies and projects we would be working with, I found this interesting because Labelmaster is an established company,” Kaushal said. “It's not a startup or small business, and it was interesting to me how we, as students, would be acting as a consultant to this larger company with resources. When I saw the opportunity to work on that project as a student consultant, I wanted to grab it.”

The interest in consulting and working on the client-facing side of business was one of the reasons Kaushal chose the Stevens School of Business and specifically, the Business Intelligence and Analytics program. In her native India, she completed her bachelor’s degree in Information and Communication Technology at Pandit Deendayal Energy University.

“I come from a tech background, and I was looking for something that aligns with my tech interests, but I wanted to explore the business side of the industry as well,” she said. “BI&A gives me the perfect combination of courses and gave me a new perspective.”

Kaushal and her team, including a Finance student, a Management student and two MBA students, were tasked with improving sales of Labelmaster’s facility management product line of shipping, warehouse and dock equipment. The group’s wide range of experience and expertise helped define and narrow their focus on such a wide-ranging project.

“It was great. We had each other's back and whenever one of us was stuck, everybody tried to help them out and suggest new ideas,” she said. “It was fun being exposed to all those different backgrounds and the different ways they went about researching problems. Everyone had their own unique approach that informed their ideas and strategies for solving the problems.”

Kaushal poses with Stevens mascot, Attila the Duck.

“We had that safety net because there were professors and mentors to help us out,” Kaushal said. “In an actual job, there are no professors to help you out. You're on your own. One of the best parts was having that backup and guidance, yet still working on a real-time issue, a real problem.”

The team focused on website visitor data analysis, sales analysis and risk assessment to form their go-to-market strategy recommendations. They investigated several factors, including the medium used by the users, the time spent visiting the company website, search behavior, customer retention rate and search engine optimization. The company’s director of marketing and business analytics attended the final presentation.

“One of the ideas they liked and said they would try to implement was our strategy using popular search terms on their site,” Kaushal said. “Moreover, after analyzing the time of day and day of the week when products are most searched for and purchased, we uncovered fascinating trends. Inspired by a keen observation from the Labelmaster team, we decided to pair our facility management products with these best-selling items. Through dynamic collaboration and creative brainstorming, we crafted an ingenious solution.”

Despite never having done consulting work, Kaushal felt well-prepared to take on the role. Not only did her BI&A coursework apply to the tasks at hand, but the course “Fundamentals of Consulting,” a prerequisite for participating in a capstone project, ensures Stevens students are also equipped with the added layer of fundamental soft skills, work techniques and technologies employed by management consultants.

“In that class, I picked up some really important lessons about consulting,” she said. “First off, you’ve got to understand the problem or area the client wants you to work on, really dive into it. Next, ask lots of questions. It helps you get a better grasp of the problem and might even show you where the gaps are. But the biggest thing I learned is to listen—really listen. Clients will tell you what they need, whether it’s through their suggestions or their doubts. If you pay attention, you’ll figure out the problem and where to focus. And finally, the course taught us how to handle tough decisions and make the right choices.”

“For data analysis, I had taken courses like Business Intelligence & Data Integration, Marketing Analytics and Project Management Fundamentals, which really helped me with this project,” Kaushal continued. “Everything I learned in the BI&A program came in handy in one way or another during this real-time project.”

Currently interning with the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board's Racial Profiling and Bias-Based Policing Investigations Unit as a research data analyst, Kaushal has expanded her job search to include consulting roles now that she has practical experience, a wider network and concrete examples to present during interviews.

“I’m excited to keep advancing my skills in consulting and am now open to taking on consulting roles,” she said. “This isn’t just a school project. I’ve worked with a real client who can speak to the quality and impact of my work. I’m ready to bring that experience into a professional setting.”
