It requires students to demonstrate their abilities in knowledge, teamwork, leadership, and analytical and problem-solving skills through their case analysis.

Thirty shortlisted teams then presented elaborate reports in the second round, with the top eight teams chosen to compete in the final showdown.
Six teams from UIC’s Division of Business Management (DBM) took part in the second round of the competition, and three of them entered the national finals and achieved outstanding results.
