 This Issue's Featured CoB Event
|
Today's dynamic business environment requires analytical thinking, fact-based decision making, and collaborative action.
Challenge, PwC's case competition, is an opportunity for students to experience this first hand. The
Challenge case competition models real-world business scenarios that focus on the dynamic issues currently facing companies all over the world.
The competition is open to all freshmen, sophomores and juniors (in a 5-year program) and does not require detailed knowledge of business concepts or accounting. Through this competition, students will work with a small team to review a business case, develop a solution, and create a presentation. The team will then deliver their solution to a group of PwC professionals.
