稳定的十大彩票网站 工商经济学院 students in MNGT 481 Strategic Management capped off the fall semester participating in the annual 现场策略案例大赛, practicing real-world skills and competing to earn the grand prize of $2,000.

The competition occurs every semester as the culmination of the upper-level course for seniors studying 工商管理、会计和电子商务。 This term, management faculty members worked with SECU to develop the case, which challenged students to conduct internal and external analyses and proposes tactics to grow the credit union’s membership base, particularly among millennials.

学生 across all 10 部分s of the course were divided into teams to conduct research and prepare their solutions over the course of three weeks before the winning team from each 部分 提交给由SECU组成的评审团 管理员.

Seniors Amos Campbell, Meredith Price, Meghan Price, Madison Bove and Renate Van Oorschodt won first place.

The second place team won $1,000 and its members were Brie Ferrara, Janet Hengen, Zach Dorn, Matt Mazur, John Goodwin, and John Kum. The third place team, whose members were Charles Kibbe, Andrew Boyer, Merrick Kressley, Joe Crivaro and Chase Schulte, won $500.

“在当今的商业环境中，表达能力极其重要。 And we saw a lot of quality presentations,” said Steve Arbaugh ’79, SECU’s CFO. “Our VP of marketing [took] a whole book full of notes along with the presentations. We definitely gain value out of [participating in this competition] as an organization.”

McGraw Hill Higher Education sponsored the event, offering $1,000 for the winning team. SECU matched that prize money for the first place team and offered an additional $1,000 and $500 to the second and third place teams, respectively. The 稳定的十大彩票网站 bookstore donated printing services to the final teams to print their presentation materials and final reports for the judges.
