Internal Case Competitions

• Case Challenge: All students enrolled in BUS 201 or BUS 202 participate in a case competition as part of the course. Throughout the course, you will learn foundational skills to analyze a case and take it to the presentation stage. You will work in teams with your classmates, be judged by industry professionals, and receive feedback for your own growth.
• PEAK Case Competition: PEAK is an introductory case competition experience designed primarily for students who are in their first to second year at SFU Beedie (fewer than 60 credits), and upper year level transfer students with little to no case competition experience. This competition is a stepping stone to the world of case competitions by allowing ample deliberation time. PEAK takes place every summer semester (June).
• ELITE Case Competition: ELITE is a case competition experience for students with more than 60 credits completed, and ready to take on a bigger challenge. It is a three-day competition with an overnight component, inspired by international case competitions. Students deliberate on two cases in a short period of time and receive feedback from industry professionals whose companies are featured in the cases. ELITE takes place every summer semester (June-July).
• Student organization competitions: SFU Beedie is the proud sponsor of more than 12 business focused student organizations. Many offer case competitions, tailored to specific concentrations such as finance, human resources, entrepreneurship, etc.
