RATIONALE:
MGT 408 Small Business Institute is a nationally acclaimed program. Students registered in this course enter into a national case competition. The cases submitted are comprehensive strategic plans and are judged by blind review process. The cases are of publishable quality. Keene State College’s SBI teams have consistently placed in the top ten in national case competition. In the past decade three case teams have won first place awards and have been invited to the national awards ceremonies. Participation in the course is by invitation only. Admission into the course is highly competitive. Interested students with a 3.2 GPA in management must apply for the program and have the support of a member of the Management faculty. Students selected by the SBI faculty member must demonstrate excellent academic skills and an ability to work as a team. The change in title constitutes a long overdue recognition of this course as an honors course by the Department of Management.
