Competition Summary:

The Fisher College of Business Office of Minority Student Services will host the 2008 Minority MBA Case Competition V, on February 27 - March 1, 2009. Key Foundation will supervise the selection of a contemporary and never-before-used case topic addressing business issues with diverse implications at either a national or international level. Teams of three, with one alternate from invited colleges will compete, with each student benefiting from the opportunity to develop important professional skills such as analyzing and responding quickly to often-complex business issues. These students will also hone their communication and team-building talents while learning from the expertise of business executive judges and moderators.

Teams will be asked to arrive at the Downtown Cleveland Marriott at KeyBank Headquarters on Friday, February 27th, by 3:00 pm eastern standard time. Registration and hotel check-in will be 3-5 pm. A team briefing and drawing of groupings and presentation times will be conducted from 5:30-6:30 pm. That evening, student teams, judges, Fisher College of Business hosts, and Key Foundation sponsors, will be invited to enjoy a corporate networking reception sponsored by Key Foundation from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. Following the reception, each team will be allowed to practice for 45 minutes in designated and assigned classrooms. The competition begins Saturday morning at assigned times.
