SMC draws on the Stern School s distinguished faculty and smart MBA students to provide advisory services to firms who want to position themselves more advantageously in their industries. Since its inception, SMC has successfully completed many value-added projects for both small and large companies in the greater New York area, and has also tackled challenging international assignments for companies in China, India, Taiwan, and Indonesia. Each engagement is assigned to a consulting team composed of advanced students in the MBA program, under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
Teams meet regularly to discuss plans and review progress.
They are assisted by a Steering Committee and an Advisory Board. The Steering Committee consists of distinguished faculty members who are thought leaders in their disciplines. The Advisory Board brings together a group of professional consultants from leading consulting firms from the New York area. Engagement teams develop their analyses and recommendations from formal and informal interactions with each other and with the Steering Committee and the Advisory Board. One measure of SMC s success is that many of its engagements are from repeat clients.
