MBA Case Team wins Big XII Championship!

Jessie Loeffler, TianTian Zhang, Matt Quade, and Michael Tapley (L-R) competed recently in the Big XII Conference MBA Business Case Competition in Kansas City. The team was victorious with second place going to the University of Nebraska. The team prevailed after having a 24 hour turn around to read the case, then present an analysis and new product plan for Garmin International, an international GPS and navigational systems provider. Winners of the competition were presented a trophy from Kevin Rauckman, CFO of Garmin and were awarded court side tickets to the final game of the Big XII Men’s Basketball Championship. When asked to respond to their victory, Zhang responded “this is one of the highlights of my life”.
