BCG Strategy Cup 2009

On he 7th and 8th of November 2009 the Boston Consulting Group, together with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics organized the BCG Strategy Cup, an English case study competition.

One of the main traits of the event is that competing teams are formed on spot, thus many of the competitors have to work together with people they barely know, or do not know at all.  The associates and consultants of the BCG personally followed the endeavours of each team, paying special attention to their work strategies, their troubleshooting techniques and team-work.

This year Réka Birton and Dénes Laczkó (BCC members) obtained the right to compete, after a pre-trial. Together with their team they won third prize, thus continuing the streak of success begun by István Barok’s second prize and Márta Lőrincz’ qualification into the final round. We hope that future editions will also encompass such achievements and experiences for the students from our university.
