WHAT IS A CASE COMPETITION?
Case competitions explore strategies for companies to tackle business challenges. For example, how do we market the newest smartphone in South America?
This case competition will mimic unique business challenges and problem solving tactics, just as a real time consultant would.
New to consulting? No worries - most participants are! All participants will have access to exclusive virtual workshops from top business executives.
"Harvard Crimson Global Case Competition brings the business case competition experience, usually reserved for university students, directly to high school students. The best part? Because the competition is 100% virtual, there are no geographical barriers to entry; students around the world can develop and test their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit on the global stage!"
