Life is a challenge – It’s your turn to take the lead!
From Nov 21 to Nov 23 the international case study competition Business Masters
2007 will take place at the University of Karlsruhe. 12 high-class student teams from
leading universities around the world are going to compete against each other.
This year’s main topic “Social Entrepreneurship” will not only be an integral part
of the final casework, but also determine the subject matter of all accompanying
events.
After a series of expert lectures introducing the topic on Wednesday, there will be
a top-cast panel discussion on Thursday before the case participants present their
results on Friday.
We would like to invite everyone interested to attend our events and enrich the
discussions with bright thoughts, ideas and questions!
