Another outstanding success for WBS POM project

Following a detailed and high quality study by WBS MBA students, significant changes have been made which have resulted in lower parking charges and improved access for visitors to Walsgrave Hospital in Coventry.

The Practice of Management (POM) group consisted of six students, Ulrike Horn (Mannheim), Bonnie Hu, Colin Hutchinson, Pankaj Solanki, Sanjeet Swatch and Steve Tan.

Warwick Business School postgraduate students work with a wide range of local businesses to ensure that their research is relevant and valuable. This project with the University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire is a demonstration of the excellence of our students and has been a highly-valued exercise resulting in a number of enhancements to the customer experience.

"WBS is one of Europe's leading university-based business schools and attracts some of the best candidates from a wide range of disciplines and from over 140 counties worldwide. At WBS we encourage our students to look at things differently," said Professor Mark Taylor, Dean of WBS. "It is this combination of creativity and business and cultural experience which makes our graduates such a valuable asset to their employers and allows them to make significant contributions to local organisations whilst they are studying here."
