Default Up & Coming and Hot Areas for MBA Study....

There's a somewhat lengthy story behind my request which I'd prefer to leave out right now. I'd like to get some input from those in the business world regarding areas of business that are gathering traction and would be good to address in an MBA program. It's not for me but my girlfriend's son. Thanks...

I help run a Center for Entrepreneurship and Outreach at a university with out 25,000 students. Entrepreneurship has exploded on the university level. We have 100+ active student start ups at any given time, four of those now have million dollar valuations. We use team of MBA students do spend a semester do research for some of these start ups. The projects are driven by the clients and can include marketing, branding, managing social media, supply chain, logistics, access to capital, business plans, etc.

We also use these MBA teams with external clients, from huge corporations to Main Street Mom and Pops.

Not sure if this is applicable or what you're looking for but if it is message me and I can get you more information.

I work with alot of them, here is what they are doing. Random order

1. Lean startup marketing.
2. Technology sector development
3. Virtual and augmented reality
4. Gamification and Innovation (there are Chief Innovation Officers now)
5. Supply chain logistics
6. Biomedical product R and D and partnerships in applied research.
7. Software coding (MBA plus app coding expertise)
8. Green industry, socially responsible practices (do you know that discarded clothing in Hong Kong fills a space the size of a classroom every day?)

Most of our graduates either enter private industry as marketing gurus or manage up and coming lean companies. Think Google, Silicon Valley, Amazon business plan implementation.
