Two executive members have recently been appointed to co-chair the next edition of the McGill Management International Case Competition in 2009.

Both Shifa and Yana were praised for their remarkable dedication and leadership skills throughout the academic year.

MMICC 2009 will officially take place March 17-21st, 2009.

The winners of the 8th Annual McGill Management International Case Competition have been announced at Closing Ceremonies on Saturday March 29th. The top 3 are:

• 1st place: Thammasat University
• 2nd place: National University of Singapore
• 3rd place: McGill University

More information will follow.

To all our participants and advisors, we would like to point your attention to the following rules which have been altered for the 8th Annual McGill Management International Case Competition:

• After 22 hours (or 2 hours before presentation time), each team must change into business formal, then move to the Desautels Faculty of Management in the Checkpoint Room with their 2 laptops, their USB key, and a printed copy of their slides.
• Teams are responsible to manage their time and ensure that they have a printed copy of their slides ready 2 hours before their presentation.
• The final document must comply to the following layout: 6 slides per page, black and white, single-sided.
• The slides can include a cover page or additional materials for the judges, such as formatted Excel spreadsheets.
• The committee will make double-sided photocopies of the slides for the judges as soon as a team arrives in the Checkpoint room. Re-prints will not be permitted.
• Once the laptops are returned and the slides have been photocopied, each team will be allowed to rehearse their presentation in an assigned classroom for 1 hour 45 minutes.
• Each team is responsible to keep the photocopies of their slides and hand them out to the judging panel at the start of each presentation.

The complete rules are available on this page.

A team of student organizers from the Desautels Faculty of Management are in the final stages of preparation to host the 8th Annual McGill Management International Case Competition from March 25th to 29th.

Delegations from 12 universities and 10 countries will converge to Montreal to take part in North America’s leading case competition. Among the schools represented this year are last year’s top 3 winners: National University of Singapore, Simon Fraser University, and the University of Washington.

Teams will have 24 hours to solve and present a business case in front of a panel of judges and the general public, in the hopes of making it into the competition’s prestigious top 3 ranking.

But organizers are also emphasizing the social aspect of MMICC. With 3 days of social activities leading to the case, every team is assured to go home with unforgettable memories, while having met friends from across the world during activities such as a day of snow tubing, a scavenger hunt in downtown Montreal, a networking cocktail hosted by HSBC Bank Canada, and a spectacular Opening Ceremonies soirée at the historical Pointe-a-Callière Museum.

Visitors are welcome to attend the final presentations on Saturday March 29, which are free of admission and which run at 40-minute intervals from 9am to 6pm.

The winners will later be announced at a Closing Ceremonies gala in Old Montreal.

MMICC is the most international and largest scale student-run event to take place at the Faculty, with the attendance of 60 delegates, 25 organizers and 14 judges. The week-long events are spread across 10 unique venues in Montreal.

The competition is title-sponsored by HSBC Bank Canada. Freedom 55 Financial and Deloitte & Touche are also among the 20 sponsors who have chosen to support the event.
