[eNews] UG Student Comes First in Global Simulation Competition
UG student CHEN XU Jiabei won first place in an international contest - the Global Capstone Business Simulation Competition. The Global Capstone Business Challenge is a business simulation where the best six players, from around the world, run their companies to compete for the championship title.
According to Jiabei, an exchange student from Spain with major in Management, “by joining the competition, I understood better about how market strategies should be established under the consideration of a basket of factors, including the product portfolio, R&D, marketing, production, and finance department within a company in achieving a success.”
“This competition allows individuals to learn through a “gaming rivalry” strategy and put their business knowledge into practice. The experience of managing and growing your own company is incredibly satisfying,” he added.
This is the second time our UG students have won first place in this international biannual competition involving many students and many schools worldwide.
