Business Case Competition

Each year the Business Administration department hosts a business case competition in partnership with All Nations Trust Corporation.

Participants formulate a plan that capitalizes on strengths of a business, improves weaknesses of a business, analyzes opportunities and mitigates threats for a business. A full implementation strategy including budget plan and marketing plan are prepared and presented by groups of three to a judges panel. $5000 in prize money is awarded to the top three teams.
