Part-time MBA students win prize at HEC Business Game 2018 - 1

Two part-time students of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) MBA won the HEC Business Game 2018 Strategy Challenges held on April 13-14, 2018.

Year two students Franklin Law and Katina Chong competed with 210 postgraduates from 40 nationalities and 60 universities for the prize. Earlier, they contested a place for participation challenging 700 applicants from all over the globe.

The intensive two-day competition presents four real-life business cases hosted by well-known corporations. Unlike other competitions, for the four challenges held over the weekend, HEC Business Game puts together different participating teams. For every challenge three teams of two people each are brought together to solve the business problems.

“The first and most exciting business case was Strategy Challenge hosted by the global management consulting firm Bain & Company. We had three hours to look into the information we received, compile the data, look for possible solutions and prepare a PowerPoint presentation. We then had to present our recommended solution to a Senior Manager from Bain. This was followed by a Q&A session,” explained Katina Chong.

She added: “At the HEC Business Game 2018 closing ceremony a partner at Bain announced our prize. He said that we won the Strategy Challenges because of our strategic thinking, good presentations and well-balanced voices from both genders.”

Organised by a dedicated group of HEC students, the Business Game is held on the HEC campus just outside Paris, France. Students spend the whole weekend together, solving two business cases per day, and having lunches and dinners together.
