What is the UNIV Case Competition?
The UNIV Case Competition is an activity intended to provide a practical business-oriented approach to the UNIV Forum. At the beginning of the competition all teams receive the same business case from an internationally renowned Business School, either IESE or Harvard. Working in teams, participants read, analyze and discuss the case, in order to come up with a solid recommendation which will have to combine profitability, competitiveness, marketing, strategy and ethics. Every team then presents their solution in front of a jury. With the Univ Case Competition participants will learn how to think globally, act strategically and learn about decision making tools that they will use over the course of their entire life.

Internationality
Organizing the event for the UNIV participants the past two years has been great fun. We’re amazed at how many different nationalities have been present in the competition until now. We’ve had people from England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Costa Rica, Poland, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Finland. Additionally, this year we have enquiries from Ecuador and South Africa. This is definitely one of the most international events you can get.
Content of the 3rd UNIV Case Competition
After asking ourselves what topic to chose for this year’s case competition we came across a very new and challenging topic which we’re sure most of you have already experienced and thoroughly discussed. The topic for this year is going to be *Web 2.0 and Social Media. Social Media has revolutionized the way people communicate with one another and promises tremendous advantages for companies, organizations and individuals who seize the moment, discover the potential it has and consider its ethical implications. Talking about Web 2.0 and Social Media at the UNIV Forum this year is the best and most awesome way for you to learn about how Web 2.0 and Social Media can help you, your friends, your organization, your company, today.
Now, we can’t tell you all too much about the case, but we can tell you that we’re going to be posting videos, pictures and all sorts of content on our Facebook site so that you can get into the mood for Web 2.0 and Social Media. So make sure you stay posted and check it out.
