The Vision

MICCGoup2006

Participating in a case competition is an invaluable experience - both for the students and for CBS. Many of the students initially apply because of the chance to travel. But they quickly realize there are other, much more important and valuable reasons.

"I always thought consultants were people who used nothing more than common sense. My eyes have been opened to the excitement and depth of that field now!" Spring, 2010
"I have learned more in the last four weeks with intense training than I learned in my entire education to date. I've learned how to apply all those theories that seemed so useless outside of the classroom!" Spring, 2010
"Today when applying for full-time positions in consulting, the skills I use the most are those I learned while participating in the case competition." Spring, 2008
"Participating in an international case competition at HKUST in Hong Kong was probably the peak of my three years as an undergraduate. Autumn, 2007
"Someone once said; winning isn’t everything, and I agree. We didn’t win, not the competition anyway, but I still claim we won an experience that cannot be bought later on, ever. CARPE DIEM!" Autumn, 2007
"I now have a large international network of future business men and women. You can't put a price on that!" Spring, 2006
"Presenting proposals to a real company that really wants to know what to do and how to do it is a chance that I am so glad I took." Spring 2004
"I've never been so exhausted. But I've never had so much fun getting so exhausted!" Spring, 1999

CBS gains from these experiences, as well.

We started by benchmarking ourselves against the best business schools. We have now become one of the benchmarks for other schools.
Our students gain polish and poise and assurance that is otherwise a difficult thing to impart in a classroom.
Our goal is to participate in as many competitions as possible with as many different students and teams as possible. Some schools create a dream team or two and take them around the world. However, CBS believes in providing this opportunity to as many students as possible and not restricting itself to the dream team model. CBS has won using this strong democratic model, thus showcasing the breadth and quality of our students and education.
