EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR MBA STUDENTS - Registration now open for the Business for the 2016/2017 Better World Case Competition

  • 1.  EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR MBA STUDENTS - Registration now open for the Business for the 2016/2017 Better World Case Competition

    Posted 10-01-2016 14:48
    The Business for a Better World Case Competition is an international contest now into its fourth year and is co-hosted by Corporate Knights, the company for clean capitalism, and the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto. This year, in teams of 3 or 4, the students will be challenged to design a global equity portfolio that advances the Sustainable Development Goals while also maximising returns. With a prize pool in 2016/2017 of $10,000, the final round of the MBA competition will see three top teams present their case analysis in front of a live panel of high-profile judges in Davos, Switzerland, coinciding with the World Economic Forum in January.

    This is a great opportunity for your students to build knowledge and expertise in the field of sustainability. Throughout the process students will be challenged to think critically and communicate their business plans effectively. The competition is a great opportunity to promote your school's MBA program and winning teams are often highlighted on     corporateknights.com (click here for last year's news release).
     
    Please let your students and relevant faculty members know about this opportunity by sharing the link below, and encourage students to sign up before October 14. On this page students will find additional details and the registration form:
