COMPANIES looking to enter new markets or launch new products or services in overseas markets are invited to participate in Manchester Business school's annual International Business Project.

Beginning in January of next year the project is a cost-effective route to consultancy.

The school's full-time MBAs come from all over the world, and with an average of six years' middle-management experience, they often have significant knowledge of their home markets.

The project has been offered to local companies for the past twenty years and, although details are confidential, the school has many references from business people who have been involved.

Project co-ordinator for the Manchester Business School, Glenis Normanton said: "The International Business project has become a great success by offering a mix of cost-effective consultancy for the companies involved, and experience for students on the course."
