Eller MBA Team Places Second at Pac-10 MBA Case Competition
Eller MBAs test skills against peer institutions in real-world setting
On October 13, a team of Eller MBAs placed second in the annual Pac-10 MBA Case Competition, this year hosted by the University of Washington in Seattle.
Second-year MBAs Chris Gray, Will Hamilton, Vishnu Selvarathinam, and Tom Narins took on the case — which involved a food processing company that needed to make strategic decisions about entering the biofuel industry.
“It was a complex case, and focused on an industry that none of our team members had had any experience with,” says Gray, who was also recognized as one of two best presenters.
Gray says that case competitions offer a valuable opportunity to test the skills students have acquired through coursework in a real-world setting. And, he says with a laugh, “It was nice to receive third-party validation of my presentation skills.”
The Eller team, along with first-place winners University of Washington and third-place winners Arizona State University, have been invited to participate in the Pac-10/Big-10 MBA Challenge in January 2008.
