OR Society Award for SBS students

An OR Society Undergraduate Award has been made to a group of four Strathclyde Business School students for their dissertation which looked at modelling the factors influencing AI-related business decisions.

Matthew Cohn, Fraser Maclean, Benjamin Malcolm and Josh McKay won the award for Strathclyde for completing the best OR project. Since graduating, some of the students have secured graduate positions in banking and business analysis.  One student is working with a start-up business, whilst the other is taking some time to travel before applying for analysis/consulting roles. 

Their project looked at the applicability and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within an enterprise context. In particular, the research aimed to provide business practitioners with an understanding of how to increase the likelihood of AI project successes. 

Each of the students received a certificate, £50, the opportunity to present an overview of their project at The OR Society’s Education and Research Seminar, have their project published on The OR Society's website, and an article in Inside OR magazine.
