Kaupthing Bank featured in case study competition
The Scotiabank International Case Competition attracts students from universities around the world – from diverse group of countries including Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Brazil, France and the Czech Republic.
Initiated by the late Harold Cookell, a former faculty member at Ivey School of Business, the competition was created to provide a forum for students from the world’s best undergraduate business programs to showcase their business acumen. It has become the largest international, undergraduate case competition in North America.
Through the competition, students are exposed to different international perspectives. They also have the opportunity to establish valuable relationships which are increasingly crucial in today’s global business arena. This time a team of students from the Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary, won the competition.
At the closing banquet, the Ambassador of Iceland to Canada Mr. Markús Örn Antonsson, gave a speech about the economy in Iceland and the basic changes it has gone through over the last 20 years.
