Team Selection

• Only one team per school is allowed. All team members must be currently enrolled as MBA students, either full-time or part-time, at the university. Teams must consist of four (4) members.
• Selection of teams will be on a first come first served basis. Applications will be processed and confirmations to retained schools will be sent out as they are received.
• The application deadline is February 24, 11:59pm.
• Mentoring by coaches and consultation with industry experts are allowed up until the issuance of the case. In addition to the information used in this case, you may also use other relevant and credible third party sources of information. However, once the case is distributed, outside assistance is not acceptable. Making use of such assistance is prohibited and will result in the team being disqualified from the competition.
• No additional information will be provided. Please make reasonable assumptions if necessary and cite them in your analysis. Any questions about the case may be sent to Jean-Olivier Dalphond (jean-olivier.dalphond@hec.ca). Any questions that can be answered will be posted to the website and/or emailed to all teams.
• Each team should select a name which provides no reference to their school, mascots, etc. Neither school logos nor any other school reference are to be included on the team’s presentation materials. This includes PowerPoint presentations, slides, posters, clothing and documents. No verbal references of school affiliation are to be made to the Judges during a team’s presentation.
