Awarded by: Scotiabank International Case Competition in Canada
A team of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's School of Business and Management (HKUST Business School) undergraduate students won the Scotiabank International Case Competition held from March 14-17 in Canada.
Organized by the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario, the competition included 12 schools from the Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.
This year, the case that the teams had to tackle was about the global expansion of India's largest tractor manufacturer and its plan to set up a joint-venture in China. It was an international business problem involving complicated issues such as integration and restructuring.
The HKUST team, comprising four undergraduate students, Leona Chow Hoi Shan, Nitika Devkumar Gaba, Crystal Gloria Lo and Terrence Lo Fai, from the School's Global Business Program, was commended by the panel of judges as having excellent standards in their presentation.
