What benefits do I receive for taking the Capstone Project?

The key benefits you receive is to apply the concepts learned in the specialization to an actual managerial problem. More specifically, you will have a hands-on experience on how to expand an existing business or product across borders and to grow or source innovation ideas from another industry, hence CCCI, i.e. Cross-Country and Cross-Industry Innovation.

How long will the Capstone take?

If the Capstone is conducted at a leisurely place (1~2 hours per week), it could be completed in about 6 weeks. If the learner speeds up the work (2~4 hours of work per week), then it can be done in half that time.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.

This course will act as the culmination of the Specialization: International Marketing & Cross Industry Growth. The aim is to help you apply what you have learned during the 16 weeks of the 5 courses and conduct an "action learning" project that will consist of the following:

1. Situation Analysis for their chosen company or brand. 2. Marketing Mix Analysis for their chosen company or brand. 3. Cross Country Innovation Plan when expanding abroad. 4. Cross Industry Innovation Plan when sourcing ideas or expanding into another industry. All of these analyses will have templates that will be explained in the video lectures using an exemplar case, "Yuhan Kimberly." You will be required to choose a company on which these analyses will be performed. As such, the intent will be to provide you an integrated set of insights and application to a chosen managerial situation and problems at hand in the context of a specific region or country. You will be required to also choose another industry (from the ones covered in the Specialization: B2C, B2B, Healthcare, Hospitality, Entertainment, Sports) when developing your Cross Industry Innovation Plan. For example, if you work for a company in the Healthcare industry and have analyzed that company, you should then conduct a Cross Industry Innovation project using concepts from a different industry such as Entertainment.

Module details

This is the beginning of the Capstone for the Specialization: International Marketing & Cross Industry Growth. You will become acquainted with an exemplar company Yuhan Kimberly both via a case and a video lecture, and then be provided specific guidelines on how to reference the case to complete your individual capstone projects.
