Queen's wins UCLA and Boston Tech Case Competitions

So, we have had several teams go to case competitions since our class has had a very keen interest this year. There has been a lot of internal rivalry to get on these teams as well as to be the team selected to go. As a result some pretty good teams have been sent out to competition.

We have had teams that went to:
  • L'Oreal E-Strategy Challenge (Online) (Marketing)
  • CSR Case Competition (November - hosted by University of Toronto) (CSR Strategy)
  • Financial Executive International "Best in Class" (November - hosted at the University of Toronto) (Finance)
  • Tata Consulting Case Competition (October) (Strategy)
  • John Molson International Case Competition (January - hosted by John Molson School of Business in Montreal) (Everything)
  • Boston Tech Strategy Case Competition (April) (Strategy)
  • UCLA Global Leadership Competition (April - hosted by UCLA Anderson School of Business) (Strategy/Everything)

Last week the Queen's team that went to Boston Tech won first place! You can check it out on the blog for the event. First place got them $25,000 they got to split between the 4 team members

Just yesterday the Queen's team that went to the UCLA Global Leadership Competition won first place! Here is the official event website. They also won $25,000 to split between the 5 team members. Last year Queen's came in second and there was quite a bit of pressure for this year's team to perform. The competition is invitational only and the schools that attend are some of the best in the world:

  • Fudan University School of Management, China
  • HEC School of Management, France
  • Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Business School, Hong Kong SAR
  • Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (ITAM), Mexico
  • London Business School, England
  • National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore
  • Peking University Guanghua School of Management, China
  • Queen's School of Business, Canada
  • Seoul National University, Korea
  • Tel Aviv University (Recanati), Israel
  • University of California, Los Angeles Anderson School of Management, USA
  • University of Chicago Booth School of Business, USA

To be asked to attend is an honour, but to win...wow. Congratulations to all the teams and I hope next year's class will embrace case competitions the way our year did. They are fun and you learn a lot.
