Telfer MBAs in Hunt for Tata Cup at Case Competition
This year’s competition takes place in the Nation’s Capital at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa on November 21, 2009.
Teams of graduate students are given an identical complex business situation and have three hours to construct a detailed solution which they present to a team of industry experts. A team of Telfer MBA students won the 2008 competition, held at the Schulich School of Business.
This year’s teams are:
- Schulich School of Business (York University)
- John Molson School of Business (Concordia University)
- University of Alberta School of Business
- Queen’s School of Business (Queen’s University)
- Telfer School of Management (University of Ottawa)
“This competition has become a popular national event among business schools. It is in many ways symbolic of the emphasis all Tata companies place on sustainable business, and of the company's values of leading change, respect for individuals, integrity, excellence, and learning” said Mukesh Gupta, executive director of Tata Cup and director of strategic relations for Tata Consultancy Services. "We hope that the Tata Cup continues to grow in scope and stature as it has done over the last five years."
