Project Description The project will analyze Knightec Group's current nearshoring setup, which is currently applied in a single assignment, and explore how it can be expanded into a repeatable and scalable business concept. The work will include:
Mapping and evaluating the existing nearshoring case and internal delivery structure
Conducting a benchmarking study of nearshoring models within the consulting industry in Europe
Performing market research on cost levels, delivery structures, and competitive positioning
Developing a scalable business model (e.g., Business Model Canvas) adapted to Knightec Group's consulting operations
Defining a clear value proposition and pricing logic for client offerings
Creating a profitability analysis and identifying key financial drivers
Presenting strategic recommendations to Knightec Group's business leadership
Proposing an implementation and rollout plan for scaling the model across offices
Optionally, creating supporting material for internal sales enablement
The thesis work will mainly be conducted from our Malmö or Stockholm offices with workshop sessions and stakeholder meetings held in both offices during key project phases. Some travel is therefore necessary. Who are we looking for? You have a strong business mindset with a solid understanding of economics, strategy, and value creation. You also have an interest in consulting business models, nearshoring, pricing, and international delivery models. You are analytical, structured, and proactive in deriving insights from both qualitative and quantitative data.
Master's students in Industrial Engineering and Management, Mechanical Engineering with a business specialization, Business Administration, International Business, or similar
Preferably two students working as a pair, although individual applications are also welcome
Graduation in June 2026
Fluent in Swedish and English, both written and spoken
