Event : Global Management Challenge

Wed 27th Feb 2008 to Wed 16th Apr 2008

Originally developed by a group of management researchers from the University of Strathclyde, in Scotland, the Global Management Challenge is currently the most popular management simulator in the world. With approximately 15,000 competitors annually this year will be the first in which Australia will participate.

GMC is about

• The ability to think strategically,
• Understanding of the financial aspects of business management,
• Flexibility in a dynamic environment,
• The spirit of entrepreneurship.

The Faculty of Economics and Business is the major sponsor in Australia and we have two student teams entering.

• Globetrotters: mentored by Bryce Wauchope
• Team IBUS: mentored by Richard Seymour

The competition begins on 28th February and then a series of 5 business decisions have to be made over the next three weeks with the national final being held in Sydney on 20th March.

The national winner will go on to the April international final in Bucharest, Romania.

For more information about the game see the Global Management Challenge website.
