Chicago GSB wins IESE International Case Competition
A team of four MBA students from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business won the 13th annual Roland Berger IESE Business School international case competition March 27 to 29 in Barcelona. Oxford University's Said Business School was second.
Participants included teams from London Business School, Insead, IESE, NYU Stern, and the Richard Ivy School at the University of Western Ontario. Individual participants were selected by each school's management consulting group. This year's competition required teams to analyze the financial performance of Hong Kong Disneyland and provide recommendations to the company going forward. In addition to submitting a written report, each team participated in two rounds of oral presentations. Judges were assigned by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants and IESE.
Members of the Chicago GSB team were Bharat Kapoor, Dustin Lyman, Nayan Patadia and Michelle Warner. Each is enrolled in Chicago's evening MBA program. "We divided up the work based on each member's strengths, challenged each other, and each of us contributed an equal share toward the final solution," said Kapoor, a strategy manager in the mobile devices division at Motorola, Inc.
