ICBC – Top Finish!

Wednesday, January 27, 2011

Students from the Paul J. Hill School of Business were strong competitors at this year’s Inter-Collegiate Business Competition (ICBC). Well known for being Canada’s premier undergraduate business case competition, ICBC drew 180 written team submissions from 41 universities in its initial round in October 2010, competing in seven academic events (accounting, business ethics, business policy, finance, human resources, management information systems, and marketing).

Only teams placing within the top 6 in each event were allowed to travel to the final round at Queen’s University, held January xx-xx, 2011. The final round competition involved preparing a case analysis during a limited five-and-a-half hour time period, followed by a 15-minute presentation and a five-minute question-and-answer period in front of judges.

Placing first in the business ethics competition was the University of Regina’s team of fourth-year student Emily Adema and second-year student Megan Kalk. In second spot was the University of British Columbia, while St. Mary’s University in Halifax came in third. In the marketing competition, the U of R team of fourth-year students Katie Osborne and Allison Weed finished third, behind Simon Fraser University and Concordia University.

This is the second year in a row that University of Regina teams have finished in the top three in the event, and the first time a University of Regina team has placed first in an event. Faculty coaches Hilary Horan, Tatiana Levit, and Sean Tucker are to be commended for their hard work and dedication.
