"Talented MBA candidates from many of the nation’s leading business schools competed for $50,000 in scholarships in the 2011 National Student Case Competition, sponsored by Chrysler Group LLC.
The National Student Case Competition is a unique, annual event designed to give high-powered student teams an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and problem-solving skills in a formal competition. Teams are given a hypothetical business case from which they develop business solutions. Each student team then prepares and presents its case before a panel of experienced business executives. Teams are judged on their analysis of the case, the feasibility of their recommendations and the quality of their presentations.
The competition is held as part of the National Black MBA Association's Annual Conference and Exposition, which was held this year October 4-8 in Atlanta. Chrysler Group has been the exclusive sponsor of the National Student Case Competition since 1995. Over that time, more than 1,500 MBA students have participated in the competition.
"Programs like the National Student Case Competition enable Chrysler Group to identify talented future business leaders," said Nancy A. Rae, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Chrysler Group LLC and Co-Chair of the Company's Global Diversity Council. "Over the years, the competition has evolved into the premier showcase event for student achievement and an important way Chrysler Group demonstrates its continuing commitment to developing diverse talent and future business leaders."
This year, the students from the Florida A&M University took home the first place trophy as national champions and $25,000 in scholarships. The winning team members were Antoinyce Eaton, Benjamin Evans and Cianna Reaves, all current MBA students at Florida A &M University. The second and third place teams represented Penn State University and the University of Georgia, earning $15,000 and $10,000 in scholarships respectively. " [Continue reading...]
