General Notices
1. Global Management Challenge
Take on the world with the Global Management Challenge – the world’s biggest strategic management competition.
Students from across all 10 faculties and a range of disciplines are needed to represent Monash in 2010.
This competition might seem like it’s just for business students, but it’s not! Make the most of this opportunity to gain, develop, practice a skill that employers want all students to be able to apply.
As a quick overview the competition requires you to:
Form a board of directors and run a virtual company.
Make decisions that will affect the company’s performance and therefore share price.
Proceed to the next round if they have highest share price in their division.
Represent Australia at the international final against 30 other countries, if they are the national winner (the returning team from 2009 was 2nd nationally and just narrowly missed out on a trip to Moscow).
