In a recent project a team from the Manchester Full-time MBA programme worked with LADbible for their International Business Project, the last chapter of their MBA journey.
The Manchester Full-time MBA offers students unique, practical experience through three live consultancy projects, including the International Business Project. This initiative allows students to collaborate with high-profile companies, addressing complex global business challenges.
Benefits for prospective MBA students
The International Business Project gives MBA students invaluable, hands-on experience in international consulting. By working directly with real clients, like LAD Bible, students can apply classroom knowledge to solve business challenges. This final project allows them to:
- Work with global clients, gaining exposure to diverse industries and regions
- Build strategic consulting skills by developing market-entry plans and stakeholder management strategies
- Gain practical insights into digital media and other cutting-edge industries.
In the video below, MBA students talk about taking part in the project:
As student Chunhao Quan shares in the video, managing stakeholder expectations while providing actionable recommendations sharpened his leadership and consulting capabilities. Similarly, student Ravij Bhatia appreciated the opportunity to dive into new sectors like digital publishing.

Benefits for prospective consultancy clients
For the companies, this project is an opportunity to collaborate with international, experienced MBA professionals who bring fresh, innovative perspectives to the table.
Each project is supervised by an academic expert, ensuring that students deliver high-quality recommendations to their clients.
Luke Greasley, M&A Lead at LAD Bible highlighted the value of the experience. He highlighted that the more a company invests in helping MBA students understand their business, the greater the returns they’ll see.
Clients like LAD Bible benefit from:
- Collaboration with experienced, knowledgeable MBA students who can provide research-backed, actionable strategies
- Support from academic experts who guide students and ensure high-quality outcomes
- The ability to explore new opportunities, such as diversifying audiences or expanding into new markets, with well-researched recommendations.
In the video below, Luke shares his insights on the project:
Luke emphasised the immense value of collaborating with our MBA students. He highlighted the benefits businesses can gain from such partnerships, explaining:
"If I was to give other companies advice on how to work with the MBA students from Alliance Manchester Business School, I'd say you have fantastic individuals that come and want to learn about your business.
"Supporting them as much as them supporting you is pivotal. The more you put into explaining to those individuals the business itself, rather than just the objectives, will bring returns."
