McCombs International Business Challenge
SEEKING CORPORATE SPONSOR FOR MIBC 2012
The McCombs International Business Challenge is an annual undergraduate business case competition held each fall at the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Twenty universities compete in the event with teams consisting of four students. Each team is given a case depicting contemporary real-world problems confronted by a modern business firm. The students have two days to prepare a solution for the case. At the end of the two days, each team will present their solution to the "client," a panel of distinguished judges from the case company, the sponsor company and other members of the business community.
Top-notch students from the participating universities gain experience facing senior representatives from sponsoring firms, interact with high-caliber students from around the world, network new contacts, learn more about sponsors through company presentations, and expand their business and presentation skill set.
Due to budget and sponsorship constraints, the 2011 session of MIBC has been CANCELLED.
The competition cannot take place without the support of sponsors. Sponsors choose to support the competition to form and strengthen relationships with 20 leading undergraduate business schools from the U.S., Canada, South America, Asia and Europe; meet and evaluate 80 exceptional students from highly ranked business programs; reinforce their commitment to innovation in undergraduate education; establish networks with prominent Texas businesspeople; increase visibility at the national and international level; and demonstrate enthusiasm for student initiated academic endeavors.
