What is a Case Competition?
What is a Case Competition?
In this “realistic job preview” competition, team members leverage knowledge acquired through studies and apply it to a realistic HR situation likely to be encountered in the work world. This competition requires integrated HR thinking, ethical decision-making, and strong communication and presentation skills.
Teams will analyze and solve a business case, and prepare both a written executive summary and 15-minute oral presentation within a week timeframe. Teams will compete by delivering their 15-minute oral presentation to a panel of judges and answering additional questions. The judges will rate the oral and written presentations based on rubrics that will be provided with the case.
Cash prizes will be awarded to the top teams in the undergraduate and graduate divisions based on the total highest points from written materials and oral presentations.
