Dean's Challenge: 2010 ACG Philadelphia Cup: Mergers & Acquisitions Case Competition Registration Opens

Location:Online

, 0
Event Type: All MBA Programs
Description:Association for Corporate Growth Philadelphia is pleased to present the 4th annual ACG Philadelphia Cup.

Launched in 2007, the Philadelphia Cup is a highly realistic private equity/investment banking case study contest that will present a total of $25,000 in awards to MBA students representing some of the top MBA programs in the greater Philadelphia area.

The contest, which is open exclusively to MBA and MS Finance students attending the universities, will start with first-round competitions to be held on-campus at each school. Each team will analyze and present their solutions and recommendations to a complex business case that requires a combination of corporate strategy, finance and valuation skills. This year the case will be a classic buy side investment banking scenario.

The top team from each school's first-round contest will then move into the "ACG Philadelphia Cup" finals to be held in April 2010.

Teams must be comprised of at least two MBA or MS Finance students, currently enrolled at the participating schools. Based upon experience, however, we recommend a team consist of 3 - 4 students.

The competition is open to all graduate school business students at participating universities, whether they are full-time, part-time or executive MBAs.

All teams should assign a Team Leader. The Team Leader will be the primary point of contact as the competition ensues. All team members will receive log in and password information to access the case via a virtual data room.

Submit your registration to jsimons@acg.org. Include each team member's name, email and phone number. Specify who wil serve as the Team Leader.

Questions related to team sign-up and the "on campus round" should be directed to your school contacts.

Location:Online

Event Type: All MBA Programs, Undergraduate
Description:Opens January 2010
Register early to receive vital information on this challenge!

ESTRAT ACADEMIC CHALLENGE
L'Oréal EStrat Academic Challenges have been designed to allow university and business schools' Professors use the EStrat Business game and let their students experience the reality of a Business Manager at L'Oréal in a risk free environment.

How does it work?
Students play in teams of 3 and manage a fictitious cosmetics company. They start with a portfolio of 2 brands and compete with 4 virtual competitors managed by the simulation. Over the course of 6 Rounds, teams are challenged to create value for their company by making strategic decisions at the following levels:

R&D: Development of new brands or upgrade of existing ones
Brand Management: Production planning, advertising, positioning, Resource allocation
Channel Management: management of 5 distribution channels
Website Management: development and management of e-commerce websites.

Order of Market Studies
Sustainable Performance Initiatives: large choice of environmental, employee benefits and diversity & equity initiatives
What's new this year?

No more time constraint: EStrat Academic Challenges may be played any time and are no longer restrained by the International competition calendar.

Individual Debriefs, are embedded in the simulation and provided to teams after each Round.
Multiple Scenarios are available with different starting positions.
How can I organize an Academic Challenge?
Academic Challenges may be organized within academic institutions upon agreement with L'Oréal.

If you are interested in using the EStrat Business Game in your program, please send an email to licensing@stratx.fr or contact directly your L'Oréal Campus Manager in your country.

Estrat Day
The L'Oréal EStrat Day was created for university students of all levels, from all fields of study. As in the L'Oréal EStrat business game, the EStrat Day provides students with an overview of business decisions made by managers in the beauty industry.

Nevertheless, the L'Oréal EStrat Day can be played in a shorter and more flexible timing (from one single day to a week) and students will have to make only 4 rounds of decisions.
