The competition is a unique opportunity connecting students from the world鈥檚 leading business schools from North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Each year, the case is related to the investment banking and private equity world. It requires students to solve a major business challenge that integrates strategy and finance. Last year, for example, teams were asked to respond to the challenge of making General Motors a leader in the electric car industry.
