Embedding Project

The Embedding Project is a public-benefit research project that relies on strong social science research methods to bring together a global network of business sustainability change agents and harness their collective knowledge to develop rigorous and practical guidance that benefits everyone. This internship will offer an MBA student the opportunity to gain experience in both practice and research, while learning from leaders in the field. The intern will conduct in-depth field and academic research and develop a series of business case studies and other educational and practitioner-oriented tools on cooperative business models. The partner organization will gain access to detailed content on the many variables that contribute to, or undermine, a successful and sustainable cooperative enterprise. This information will contribute to the organization’s capacity to support new co-op development and growth.
