Management-Related Research?

<p>I am a current college Sophomore with the opportunity to work with a well-known management and marketing professor at the Yale School of Management. </p>

<p>First of all, would doing this type of research boost a resume when applying to a consulting firm after graduation (for work experience), or does it not make a difference either way? Also, will such research be attractive to the admissions boards at top MBA programs once I apply?</p>
