Students from around the country to present to global Fortune 300 company at UWF’s Case Competition

Five teams from across the country will compete for their share of $10,000 in cash prizes when they present their case strategies to a panel of judges from Couche-Tard, a Canadian multinational operator of convenience stores. The Toronto Stock Exchange listed global Fortune 300 company, which includes Circle K stores, tops $50 billion in sales and operates in 26 countries.

“The UWF College of Business has developed a unique learning and networking experience that challenges students to present real-world, real-time solutions,” said Dr. Tim O’Keefe, dean of the College of Business. “It’s a significant opportunity for students to interact with leaders from a company of this magnitude.”

During the case competition, students will articulate a company’s core competencies and identify revenue sources that increase shareholder value. They then develop case strategies to present to a panel of judges. Graduate students from Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business-accredited business schools are invited to compete.

Eight judges from Couche-Tard will select the winner. Judging will be based on case recommendations, feasibility of implementing such recommendations and ability to present and support findings. The panel of judges includes a number of the company’s vice presidents, including the vice president of the Gulf Coast division and North American Vice President of Merchandising.
