Competition Summary
Every year, Wake Forest University, attracts talented marketing minds from top MBA and undergraduate programs nationally to participate in the Marketing Summit -- a student run competition that offers both graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to apply their marketing skills and creativity to real-world marketing challenges.

For this year's 20th anniversary, the Wake Forest Schools of Business have once again secured a true industry leader for the Marketing Summit challenge. On Tuesday, October 14, it was announced that IBM, “a company whose impact spans a century,” will be the official case sponsor for the 2010 Marketing Summit scheduled for February 4-6, 2010. With a culture that has spawned numerous Nobel prizes, IBM's participation will continue to heighten the caliber of competition at the Marketing Summit and is sure to offer a unique challenge to the 2010 teams.

The task in February 2010 will be daunting. The marketing case will have been developed by Wake Forest MBA students in conjunction with IBM executives and kept under lock and key until the initial day of the competition when it is announced to the competing teams. In a short 36 hours, the teams will work around the clock to craft a strategic marketing plan to address the given challenge. At the end of the competition, sleep-deprived students will present their solutions to a panel of industry-leading experts. The winning team not only gets bragging rights, but also a cash prize of $50,000. Awards will also include a $10,000 second prize, $5,000 third prize for the MBA competition and $10,000 first prize, $2,000 second prize and $1,000 third prize for the undergraduate competition.

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.
