Spring 2016 CBA Case Study Competition finalists
OMAHA – After two rounds of stiff competition, four student teams battled for first place in the UNO College of Business Administration Strategy Case Competition on April 22.
This semi-annual case study competition brings the boardroom experience to senior business students enrolled in the Corporate and Business Strategy capstone course.
The following team of four emerged victorious from a pool of more than 160 students:
First Place
- Travis Cole — Accounting
- Kyler Erickson — Entrepreneurship, Management
- Brian Gentile — Marketing
- Donald Hinman — Banking, Finance, Investment Science and Portfolio Management
The competition began on March 4, when 40 teams were narrowed to 19. On April 8, those 19 teams competed for a spot in the finals.
The final four teams were given a complex business case study on Tesla Motors and had one week to work through the case, formulate a strategic recommendation and build a presentation.
On April 22, teams presented their recommendations and answered questions from the “board,” which included academic strategy subject-matter experts and local business executives.
In addition to first place, here are the full results:
