CUHK MBA Students Prove Their Mettle in International Competition
The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s full-time MBA students took the laurels in the 3rd International Finance Competition, ahead of 19 other teams of internationally recognized business schools, such as London Business School, Judge (Cambridge), INSEAD, HEC, Saïd (Oxford) and others.
The team of five, including Amy Li, Frankie Wong, Ishan Bhatla, Mukul Phatak and Vedant Chowdhary, was presented with a cheque of € 5,000 after the tough competition, which demanded knowledge, teamwork and stamina.
“It was a great experience and an opportunity for us to learn and network with other participating schools. We were very pleased with our teamwork, as we had to deal with much pressure. We believe that it was a shared goal and our determination that helped us achieve the result that all of us had aimed for,” said Ishan.
Held in Milan, Italy, on March 31 and April 1, 2017, the competition was organized by SDA Bocconi School of Management Finance Club and sponsored by Bain & Company, Edison and UniCredit, to provide outstanding students with an opportunity to build their finance and presentation skills and network with international professionals.
The competition consisted of a finance case study, which required participants to conduct a valuation of an innovative mobility company. The teams were given 3.5 hours to do their analysis and present it to a panel of judges. Four winning teams entered the final round and made a presentation in front of an audience. The organizers wrapped up the competition with a networking event in the evening for all MBA students and professionals.
