• Rutgers Business School (Rutgers University)
• College of Engineering (New Jersey Institute of Technology)
• Martin J.Whitman School of Management (Syracuse University)

The students competed in front of a panel of industry judges from companies including DP&C Enterprises, L’Oreal USA, MetLife, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, PSE&G, Schering-Plough and Schindler Elevator Corporation. The panel judged the students on analysis of critical business issues, quality of solutions, articulation of ideas, presentation style and responses to judges’ questions.

The next annual case competition will take place again in the Spring 2010 semester. Last year’s winning team (pictured below) was from Rutgers Business School and included MBA students Som-Ming Leung, Ishma Sharma, Sarika Tandon, and Li Yin.
