Business case competitions - a lost ca(u)se

Hi

Work for me has started in full swing. 6 modules is tough. I started with an Asia Pacific meeting at 11, we had a project presentation from 12 to 1, class upto 3, a fund management meeting from 3 to 4, marketing club meeting from 4 to 5.30, another fund management meeting from 5.30 to 6.30, a Channels meeting from 5.30 to 6.30 and then I headed back home. Amidst all this there are a number of other activities. Amidst the chaos there are mails from biz case competitions which I would like to enter. And have been wanting to since I joined NUS.

We did take a decent shot at a couple of competitions. In my first term, I tried to enter the IIMPact competition. We had a team of four and we tried to come up with a business plans which would save our environment. Our efforts went nowhere. The best we could do was the concept of a eco-friendly cup which could be used for targeted advertising. Eventually an NUS team won the competition.

We did better @ Intaglio, IIM Calcutta's business case competition. We were a team of 3 this time and we created the go-to market strategy for a shoe company. It was the product of a week's hard work. We were selected but the finals but we couldn't make a mark there. The sad part was I was stuck in China and couldn't go with my team. So, my dream of making it to a business case competition remains.

IIM Lucknow's treatise was my parting shot. I came up with the Educational reforms for a modern India. I was waitlisted for the finals but I was stuck in China at that time. So, it didn't go any further.

So, the dream remains and I wonder whether I will fulfill it. Meanwhile I open my mailbox and another mail for a business case competition. I am tempted to start again. But then there is 6 modules and its time for another meeting...

Cheers,

Hi Suraj,

I was researching internships in Singapore. I stumbled on ur blog and I am interested in how you got your internship ect. I am due to study at NUS on an exchange in Dec 08 from the uk. I was wondering how did you apply for these companies ? since I am finding it difficult to find singapore specific internships.

Many Thanks

Justin

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our lives, and I am fairly certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further innovates, the possibility of downloading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's one of the things I really wish I could see in my lifetime.
