Success on the BCG Strategy Cup 2014

On April 26-27, 2014 the Boston Consulting Group Hungary organized the BCG Strategy Cup 2014 case study competition. From over 100 individual applications 24 were selected to participate on the event based on their CV-s and online test answers. The teams were assembled by the organizers and announced only at the beginning of the competition. The GTK – Business Consulting Club was represented by alumni member Ábrahám Krisztina, who won an excellent first place with her team.

The main purpose of the BCG Strategy Cup 2014 organizers was to simulate a real life situation of business consultants. Therefore, in concordance with the challenges faced by consultants during business projects, the teams were announced “on-site”, and typical checkpoints were built into the case study solving process.

This year’s task was to create a detailed strategic plant regarding the best expansion alternative for a Brazilian mining company.

Ábrahám Krisztina, alumni member of the GTK – Business Consulting Club won the first prize of the competition together with her team consisting of three other students from the Corvinus University of Budapest.
