Case competitions are an integral part of the Broad MBA experience. Students learn how to execute under tight deadlines and perform strongly in internal and external case competitions, including some of the most highly regarded national competitions.
Case competitions provide you with opportunities to showcase your talent in real-world business situations to potential employers.
Breakthrough to Broad (B2B) Case Competition
Broad’s practical approach blends theory with hands-on, team-based learning as soon as you arrive on campus through the B2B Case Competition. Each MBA team is given a case to solve when members come for orientation.
Broad vs. Broad Case Competition
Each year, four-person teams of first-year MBA students compete in an annual Broad vs. Broad Case Competition. Student teams have 24 hours to complete their analyses of the case they are given and to prepare presentations to deliver to a group of industry and faculty judges.
The event is a highlight of the MBA program and receives financial support from corporate sponsors. A number of alumni, corporate partners, and faculty serve as judges.
Big Ten Case Competition
The Big Ten Case Competition consists of two rounds.
In the first round, three teams compete against one another, with a winning team from each set progressing to the final round. The best individual presenter and best individual Q-and-A winner also are selected from each of the groups of three teams.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) Case Competition
The SCM Case Competition has a format similar to the Big Ten Case Competition. The event brings together MBA students studying supply chain management to compete against and network with fellow students and industry professionals.
Net Impact Case Competition
The Net Impact Case Competition is a premier competition built around businesses facing sustainability challenges while succeeding financially. The competition encourages student teams to develop strategies that integrate social, political, and environmental issues and lay the foundation to meet corporate goals in these areas.
