Posting Title: Business Analyst, New Product Planning - MBA Intern (15938BR)
Requirements: Whitepaper. It sounds so staid, bland, colorless. But that’s not what we’re about at Bose. In fact, our Home Entertainment Division is in the midst of a period of exciting growth and now leads the home audio industry in nearly every category in the marketplace. That’s because at Bose, our approach is to provide high-performance sound solutions that are elegant and simple to use. Behind this apparent simplicity are innovative and proprietary technology solutions that are borne from decades of research. In fact, our commitment to research is so strong that we pour 100% of our profits back into research, something we’ve done every year since Bose was founded over 45 years ago. As a privately held company, this allows us to make deep investments in the next generation of unique products with benefits that delight our customers.
At Bose, we take interns and internships very seriously. As an intern within Bose’s Home Entertainment Division, your deliverable will be a technology assessment whitepaper. However, for the right candidate with a healthy mix of intellectual curiosity, self-motivation, and ability to see clearly in the midst of uncertainty, we promise that the experience will be colorful.
Your ultimate responsibility will be to advise and assist the HED New Product Planning Team. The whitepaper you are asked to create will include an assessment of an emerging technology or market trend or an analysis of customer requirements. It will make concrete, actionable recommendations about whether and how Bose should direct and prioritize new product development activities based on your findings. During the course of your internship, you may be asked to conduct primary and secondary research to size and segment a market, explore latent customer needs, analyze competition, assess intellectual property landscapes, and/or interview thought leaders throughout the industry.

He or she will have sufficient related experience that demonstrates the potential to meet all responsibilities of the job during the summer assignment. “Related” includes, but is not limited to: management consulting, market research, or strategic marketing or line management at a technology start-up or consumer electronics company.
