Ready for take-off?

Do you want to know how to employ your humanitarian and social science proficiencies in the modern business world? Then Suitable for Business might be your runway!

Suitable for Business is a fusion between an interactive academic conference and a pragmatic case competition, which operates in the nexus between academia and business. In a time of growing collaboration across the business, public and non-profit sector, we seek to challenge the modern business world’s approach to problem solving by breaking down the barriers between the world of business and the world of academia. Suitable for Business is an organisation driven by dedicated students from leading universities. With the first successful conference taken place in March 2011, the exciting preparations for spring 2012 are now about to commence. Join us for a one-hour seminar followed by a reception and hear about of the relevance of your education and opportunities for becoming involved in the organisation!
