International Business Case Competition 2012 - KHLeuven

This week all our Wednesday - Friday were cancelled because all Advanced Business Management - Marketing Communication students had the opportunity to participate to the International Business Case Competition, one of the qualification rounds for the NIBS Business Case Competition 2013. 

Twenty teams, consisting of 4-5 students, who came from The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium (KHLeuven) were devided into four poules had to solve one business case every day. Afterwards they had to present and defend it before a professional jury, consisting of professors, business men and ex-participants of the IBCC. My team, with a student from Germany (Carolin), one studying International Law (Evy) and another one Human Resource Management (Sophie) (KHLeuven), managed to win both on Wednesday and Thursday, and found ourselves in the finals on Friday afternoon. 

I must admit that our performance on Friday was far from the best one we had given, but appareantly we were the least bad of the four finalists and thus, after a brief discussion, the jury awarded our Team 15 as the

 Winner of the International Business Case Competition 2012 - KHLeuven (Belgium).

A selection of Belgian beers - what a gift for the winners !
