The HKU Asia Pacific Business Case Competition enhances the traditional strengths of the case method of teaching by moving the business case from the classroom into a global competition format. In the competition, students from across the globe are judged by senior executives who make decisions on a daily basis.
Teams are given 3 hours to solve a case and present their analysis to the jury of executives. While preparing their case, students must complete their work using pen and paper only. They have no access to computers, AI, Internet, or a smartphone. The teams are evaluated for their ability to identify key issues in the case, offer feasible solutions, and defend their decisions during a question and answer session.
