MAP is 7-week course for first year MBAs offered in Spring Term (March-April).  A MAP team consists of 4-6 Ross MBA students who receive guidance from Ross faculty advisors.  Each project requires analytical rigor, critical thinking, and genuine teamwork.  Sponsors receive top-notch deliverables and data-driven recommendations from the team of students with diverse skills, knowledge, backgrounds, and work experience.  Projects take place during a seven-week period between early March and late April.    

WDI organizes a variety of international Multidisciplinary Action Projects (MAP) in conjunction with the Ross School of Business.  Through the program, students work full-time with global organizations on projects that focus on the design or improvement of an important business process, solving a real business problem, or exploring strategic market opportunities.  WDI collaborates with large, medium, and small organizations in offering MAPs in emerging markets.  Recent WDI-MAP partners include Pfizer, GE Healthcare, The Hershey Company, Abt Associates, Grassroots Business Fund, Aravind Eye Hospital, VisionSpring, etc.
