2009 Competition preparations are under way!!!

A warm thanks to all the judges who participated in the 2008 John Molson MBA International Case Competition. Your on-going support has, as always, largely contributed to the success of this world renowned event.

Those of you who wish to participate again next year or who would like to recommend someone who they think would be perfect for the job, please contact Alex Dumesle or Catalina Zambrano for more information.

Year after year I am constantly impressed by the high level of business skill the students bring to the competition. A showcase that should not be missed by either the academic or business communities.
