Case Competitions

Students across all MBA degree programs gain invaluable expertise by having the chance to participate in case competitions. Oftentimes, case competitions will be sponsored by companies to allow students access to (past or present) real-world problems that the company's marketing team has had to deal with. This gives students a chance to test their knowledge and decision making skills, as well as preparing them for some of the issues they may need to tackle in their post-MBA careers.

Faculty & Research

 
At the core of our knowledge-creation efforts are the research faculty, Ph.D. students, conferences and seminars at the Anderson School of Management. In knowledge creation, the Anderson academic community interacts and collaborates with researchers from universities around the world. Knowledge creation involves both basic theoretical and empirical analyses, and is disseminated via academic outlets as well as to practitioner, policy, management and other audiences. Our research conferences and seminars bring together the research community to share their latest findings with and distribute their insights to other researchers, students and practitioners.
