Project Examples
Requirements
Given the recent political focus on climate change, we think it is critical for companies to shift their focus from short term profits to long term environmental thinking in order for companies to gain shareholder support and continued interest. Participants in this case competition can generate new ideas to tackle the strategic challenges your company faces.
During this case competition, students can:
- conduct rigorous market research
- identify industry trends and opportunities
- provide long term risk-reducing recommendations
Companies will be able to assess students from multidisciplinary backgrounds and tap into the next generation of industry leaders. Participating companies will be able to promote their brand with marketing opportunities through our club Facebook, Instagram, newsletter, and promotional flyers in addition to the social media outlets of other clubs we collaborate with. Time will be allotted during the event in which companies can make a promotional speech to a group of 30 (estimate) or so students.
