Question 1

What does a team look like?

Answer

Successful case competition teams must work together closely and intensely. Teams should be groups of 3-5 people from the same university (graduate students of which there is at least one MBA student) with varied expertise and experiences. It is important to get to know each other well and utilize strengths to execute tasks related to the challenge. Assigning roles and responsibilities thoughtfully, to ensure that the team can learn to communicate and collaborate virtually in the stressful case competition environment, can maximize the impact that a team is aiming for.

Question 2

What are the expectations from the teams?

Answer

One person per team must confirm participation for the competition by registering on Eventbrite and paying the $50 fee. Teams will be notified of their selection by Oct 12th, 2021, and registration is required immediately afterward. Selection of teams is blinded and is based on whether the team has a strong understanding of the topic, knows individual strengths and gaps, and demonstrates the passion and commitment to envision an implementable solution.

Question 4

What platforms will be used for communication?

Zoom – For the second time, the Danaher Case Competition is completely virtual and will be conducted via Zoom. We believe that Zoom provides us with features that will enable an easy and effective channel for teams and judges to interact. We recommend that every team member familiarizes themselves with Zoom prior to the event here

Slack – We wanted to provide finalist teams with an easy channel to communicate. This year, we will be using Slack to ensure a team always stays updated and can communicate with each other, and a case competition organizer, throughout the event. We recommend that every team member familiarizes themselves with Slack once selected and registered.
