Knowledge is power…and that is exactly what it takes to win this educational competition! The business world is competitive by nature, and given the recent events in our global economy, students now more than ever, need the acute skills and knowledge to effectively succeed in this new global marketplace. This competition requires students to analyze situations, apply information under pressure, chart and interpret data, build consensus, make decisions, solve mathematical problems and work together as a team.
