  2. What is a case competition? • Small groups are given a case and have a limited amount of time to work through a scenario, identifying key priorities, weighing a multitude of factors and addressing risks before creating a plan they present to a panel of judges. • The competition challenges students on their ability to see and convey the “big picture,” allowing them to draw on their cumulative knowledge in many fields, as well as their teamwork and presentations skills.
