FCBE MBA Students Compete in Case Competition

For release:  February 2, 2012

Hilton Worldwide has invited a selected number of nationally-accredited MBA Programs, including the University of Memphis Fogelman College of Business & Economics (FCBE), to participate in the "2012 MBA Case Challenge" competition. This will see our MBA students competing against their counterparts at institutions such as Georgetown University, University of Virginia, University of Maryland and George Washington University. The judging panel selected by Hilton Worldwide will choose a winning team from each University initially. Subsequently, winning teams from each competing university will present their winning project portfolio to the corporate leadership at Hilton Worldwide's headquarters in McLean, VA, in March 2012.  Several MBA teams from the College’s Professional, Customer-Driven, and International MBA Programs are taking part. Professor Albert A. Okunade from the Department of Economics is coordinating the effort that involves twenty-five Fogelman MBA students.
