TelferINTL Case Competition
Telfer School of Management hosts the TelferINTL Case Competition twice a year, in November and March. This competition is a key component of the third-year BCom curriculum and gives students practical experience by applying international business knowledge to real-world scenarios.
During the challenge, student teams are formed to analyze a complex global business case, develop strategic solutions, and present their findings to judges comprising of faculty and industry professionals.
By participating in this challenge, students enhance critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills, all while gaining actual insights into global business operations. The challenge is an opportunity for students to demonstrate their abilities and engage in a dynamic learning experience at the Telfer School of Management, while also connecting to fellow classmates, alumni and the greater Telfer community, including case subjects such as:
