This capstone course involves a semester-long project carried out with an actual company to enable students to apply their business functional area knowledge in an actual business setting and to develop a holistic perspective on business practice. With this objective, the course first will involve a classroom component where the students will review their business functional area knowledge and develop integrative case analysis skills. Based on this preparation, students will then launch their field project to engage with an actual company, to identify and frame business problems and challenges that they face based on various data sources (both primary and secondary), and to articulate these in a detailed and contextualized case report. Finally, students will analyze and provide a solution for a business case, and communicate/present their proposed solutions in multiple professional formats.

Project Fair and Competition
Bilkent University Faculty of Business Administration organizes an Annual Project Fair and Competition that showcases the work of senior students. The event provides students with the opportunity to present their research findings and propose innovative solutions to real-world business problems. Each year, students collaborate with leading companies to develop projects that reflect current industry needs and emerging trends.
The event typically opens with a poster presentation session, where teams present their projects to faculty members, industry professionals, and fellow students. This interactive format encourages open discussion and allows participants to gain deeper insights into the teams’ analytical methods, research designs, and proposed solutions. The Best Poster Award recognizes the creativity, effort, and presentation skills demonstrated by all participating teams.
The poster session is followed by the finalist presentations, one of the most important stages of the event. After the initial evaluation, six teams are selected as finalists to compete for the first, second, and third place awards. These finalist teams deliver detailed presentations to a jury composed of faculty members and experienced industry professionals.
