Selected teams will have two days to analyze a case study focused on emerging markets, developing comprehensive strategies and solutions that address market dynamics, cultural considerations, and strategic implementation. They will then present to a distinguished panel of seasoned executives and industry leaders on the competition date. Winning teams from three initial rounds will advance to a final afternoon round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEM's undergraduate case competition welcomes multidisciplinary teams, encouraging collaboration between students from all Northeastern colleges and schools. Students may organize themselves and apply as a four-person team, or apply as individuals to be matched with a team. This diversity of academic backgrounds consistently produces innovative approaches and unique insights that mirror the collaborative nature of global business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition offers substantial cash prizes and an opportunity for students to present their strategic thinking to senior business leaders, gain real-world consulting experience, and build networks within the global business community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>First Place<\/strong> &#8211; $1,500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second Place<\/strong> &#8211; $1,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Third Place<\/strong> &#8211; $500<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Applications are now closed.
