As a result, students learn about business, gain a sense of achievement, and earn respect. Field cases culminate in a final written case report which is delivered to the client. Any college or university conducting field cases may enter student case reports in this competition. Entrants may request their reports be judged as a comprehensive report or as a specialized report , at either the graduate or undergraduate level. Comprehensive reports analyze several improvement areas for the client.
Specialized reports focus in depth on one or two areas such as marketing research or accounting.
Our new competition structure will have separate competitions for specialized and comprehensive cases, at both the grad and undergrad level. You are eligible to submit two different cases in two different categories. Judges include successful business people, past Case of the Year Competition award recipients, and college and university faculty members. In addition to selecting winners, judges provide independent, practical insights to entrants on the quality of student cases. The judges decisions are final.
