SFU Business-hosted CaseIT Competition Hosts Best and Brightest from MIS

Apr 08, 2010

Schools from across North America, Europe and Asia converged upon SFU Business from March 31 to April 3 for CaseIT 2010, an annual international undergraduate case competition with a strong MIS focus designed to find the best and brightest in case analysis..

Hosted at Simon Fraser University, the CaseIt event is entirely student-run, and takes up to a year to plan. Students work diligently over three semesters to secure corporate sponsorship, invite visiting schools, and manage event logistics.

This year’s winners of the prestigious competition were:
1st Place – Università Commerciale Luigi Bocconi (Milan, Italy)
2nd Place – Indiana University Kelley School of Business (Bloomington, USA)
3rd Place – National University of Singapore (Singapore)
Finalist – Simon Fraser University

Since CaseIT’s inception in 2004, it has offered students with an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge they obtained from the classroom to real-life business scenarios through strategic IT analysis and presentation.

CaseIT aims to provide a forum for future business leaders to interact with other students, university faculty, and industry professionals who share a common passion for Management Information Systems (MIS). The program is part of the Management Information Systems Association (MISA) at Simon Fraser University, a student organization that focuses on the professional and social development of students studying MIS.
