ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Eelite is an emerging producer of high-quality roasted eels from Fujian. Formally, it supplied high-quality eels to high-end restaurants in China. Now Elite wants to expand its business scope to single families so consumers do not have to go to the restaurant to eat high-quality eels. But it needs your help as a customer and a consultant to help them. Keru is recruiting a consulting team to conduct market research and deliver product attribute feedback and customer experience insights.
This course covers the basics of marketing: customer segmentation, product positioning and marketing mix. Students need to collect data and conduct consumer research analysis using Eelite eel company as a case study. Consultant work will be incorporated into Eelite's strategy and decision making.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Analyzing data is a crucial step in identifying where to focus resources and attention. While the UN SDG framework exists as a guidepost, most grassroots organizations do not have quality information on the holistic issue they are tackling. This project aims to generate insights and highlight trends of importance on social issues by drawing from online and public data sources using big data and data analytical methods.

ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
Contaminated drinking water is a serious problem that endangers the health of millions of students in rural China. In 2014, Siyuan Water, a social enterprise, created and launched a social program to address this issue in Fujian province. Since then, the program has expanded to other regions of China. However, there is increasing recognition that clean water is a global issue and will require data and collective action to solve. Develop an understanding of how water supplies are managed, secured and protected in your region and create a report to spread best practices and increase knowledge.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Economic development in northeastern China is relatively stagnant compared with other parts of China, and reducing the poverty issue is still a big challenge for locals. Locals suffer from severe cold weather 8 months of the year and agribusiness in most of rural areas is constrained. Therefore, most farmers don't have opportunities to increase their income and remain poor. Fortunately, there are considerable amounts of wild natural resources in forests and wild bushes. For example, local blueberries grow wildly over the wetlands. Farmers and Longjiamai Food just realized that they can harvest these wild berries and make earnings by selling the berries or packaged berry products. However, they need professional guidance including market information and a business development plan. Keru students will develop a sales strategy after collecting data from local interviews and analytical research. What is more, students will design & execute a marketing campaign to promote wild berries.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Knowledge: Learn about rural economic development and international commerce
