Awarded by: RSM Private Equity Case Competition
A creative solution to an expansion proposal for a German ice-cream manufacturer earned high praise for a team of MBA students and the 1st runner-up prize in the RSM Private Equity Case Competition held in The Netherlands.
The competition is the only one of its kind in Europe and HKUST was the only participant from outside the continent.
Kuldeep Chaudhury was one of the team members. "The judges said they were very impressed by our understanding and our analysis of the market, and the creativity we applied in the investment strategy."
They were narrowly beaten by London Business School. Six other business schools from Europe also participated in the event.
The students had been given seven days to prepare their presentations, which were given before a panel of industry professionals and academics who acted as an investment committee.
