Great experience working with Mehdi and his 3 student teams. We had introductory session at the beginning and worked with each other throughout the semester for about 3 months. The students submitted their marketing proposal and also presented their marketing presentation at the end.

From the very beginning, connecting and coordinating with Professor Mehdi Akhgari was seamless.
He's flexible, committed to his students and the outputs they produce. As a small business, the students' work was very helpful.
BTW, I'm trying to rate every part of the experience with 5 ***** and it's only letting me give 4.5!
Thank you Professor!

Dr Mehdi Ahkgari provided an exceptional class of MBA students to work with us on marketing plans for our new non-profit, C-CPR. It was a pleasure to work with each team. It was a demand on our time but every minute was worth it. We learned a lot about marketing and we enjoyed getting to know the team members who had a very professional approach to their consultative work for us.

NURO had an excellent collaboration with 26 University Canada West MBA students and their professor allowing us to identify new key data for the international commercialization of our non-invasive product line for Communication and Computing by Brain. All projects were delivered on-time, were rich in content and created important exchanges between the MBA students and ourselves which will lead to further contributions by some of these students in our journey. This fruitful interaction has been highly appreciated and the NURO Team looks forward to continuing this relationship with University Canada West in the future. Thank you all !...

We participated as a client for MRKT 621 and enjoyed the experience. The professor and students were easy to work with. Students were keen to learn and to share their insights and recommendations during our meetings with individual groups. We are grateful for the recommendations students provided in their presentations and written reports; we received actionable and practical recommendations that we can implement right away.

Let me start by simply saying that you have produced excellent work here. Both the PowerPoint and in-depth analysis provided in the Word Doc are impressive, thorough, and well-written – and will be of great use to Root Rescue moving forward.
I tried to find some flaws or omissions in your work – and in the end, there is nothing of substance to criticize.
Very, very well done!
Congratulations, and enjoy your Summer Group 5!
