LEADERSHIP
■Singapore Business Case Competition
Singapore Business Case Competition (SBCC) is a local business case competition held annually. It is organised by members of Business Solutions and aims to spread the case culture in Singapore. Participants will work in teams to analyse a business case, and provide solutions to tackle the challenges faced by an actual company. They will then have the valuable opportunity of presenting to a judging panel consisting of industry experts, professionals and company executives.
Participants’ analytical, communication and persuasion skills will be put to the test against other competitors across different universities and specialisations. Teamwork will play an important role, as teams will have to work closely together under strict time constraints to deliver an actionable and convincing proposal.
