The Stingray Group recently had the opportunity to host a team of students from Harvard Business School in Cape Town, South Africa, for one week as part of a required course called the FIELD Global Capstone. The Stingray Group was one of 156 FIELD Global Capstone Project Partners spanning 14 cities across 14 countries. Together, these partners combined to host more than 900 Harvard Business School students globally.
“We are proud to have partnered with Harvard Business School to provide students with a real-world learning experience in South Africa,” said the Managing Director of The Stingray Group. “The opportunity to exchange ideas, explore local market dynamics, and collaborate directly with future global business leaders created meaningful value for both the students and our business. Experiences like these offer insights that simply cannot be replicated in a classroom environment.”
The FIELD Global Capstone is a course designed to strengthen and develop students’ ability to manage and operate effectively in a variety of business environments. Executives from The Stingray Group had been working with the team remotely in the months leading up to their arrival. During their time in Cape Town, the students presented ideas to the leadership team, conducted field research with local consumers, and delivered final strategic recommendations to management.
The purpose of this immersive experience is to provide students with the opportunity to “learn by doing” through the challenge of introducing a new product, service, or customer experience for their partner company.
Harvard Business School acknowledges that this learning experience would not be possible without the support and participation of its global project partners.
“We are extremely grateful to The Stingray Group and all the FIELD Global Capstone Project Partner organizations for all they do on behalf of our students,” said Professor Joe Fuller, Faculty Chair for the FIELD Global Capstone. “The students benefit immeasurably from this experience, and we hope the partner organizations do as well.”
