Fist place winners

Joey Tripodi, Emma Whitaker, Chelsea Alexander and Michael Douglas won first place in this fall's MBA case competition.


Dr. Matt Bowler’s case consulting class finished the semester with a case competition on Oct. 8. Throughout semester the students switched groups and cases to practice for the big competition. The students split into their final teams to compete against one another for a cash prize. Professors and alumni came together to watch and judge the students before sending three teams to the finals. Each team had the same case over Tesla’s business plans.

 

First place: Chelsea Alexander, Emma Whitaker, Joey Tripodi and Michael Douglas

Second place: Dania Crivelli Zavala, Carlie Malone, Lalo Ramirez and Mallory Siggins

Third place: Enrique Alvarez Soto, James C., Mark Gardner and Kellie Heitman

 

Best presenter: Chelsea Alexander

Best Q&A: Ally Sutherland

 

Case competitions are a vital part of the program and give students great practice for real world business. MBA students will also represent OSU and the Spears School of Business in the Baylor Case Competition on Nov. 12. The team consists of Alexis Hightower, Bailey Hackler, Jacob Fincham-Dukes and Joey Tripodi.
