Call the #SWOT team: four #rhodeislandcollege #business majors took on a project to help rhode_island_parrot_rescue fly! • Students in Marketing 455: Global Logistics & Enterprise Management used SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis to improve this nonprofit’s business practices. • “The plan they presented us was pretty awesome,” says Corrie Butler, the rescue’s facility manager (pictured right). “Thanks to the students’ suggestions, we’re looking into more grants and exploring the possibility of bringing on interns.” • For the students, it was “an opportunity that couldn’t have been acquired in the classroom,” says Naomi Franzen (pictured left). That’s true in more ways than one: we generally don’t allow #parrots in the classroom. . . . #RICnews #experienceRIC #experientiallearning #businessmajor #swotanalysis #tropicalbirds #birdrescue #parrotrescue #studentsuccess #classproject
