Columbia Business School's Case Competition 2011 provides students an opportunity to distinguish themselves academically with faculty and industry professionals.  The case is specifically chosen for its complexity, demanding a solution gleaned from a well-rounded and thorough understanding of business concepts taught in the core.

The first round will take place the weekend of July 8 - 11.

The final four teams will have the opportunity to present their analysis to a panel of high level executives and senior faculty.  Past judges have included the Dean, a former member of McKinsey & Co.’s Office of the Managing Director, the former CEO of Dow Jones & Company, and a Managing Director of JP Morgan Private Bank.

The competition is open to second term MBA students.  The winning team receives $2400; the second place team receives $1000, and the two remaining finalists receive $500 each, while the cluster with the most submissions wins $1000.
