On November 24, 2019, the SYSBS-IVEY International Case Competition was closed in Sun Yat-sen University. NKBS Representative Team won the second prize with excellent performance.

      NKBS Representative Team in this competition consisted of four undergraduates, namely, Li Yeqian, Zhang Yue, Liu Ying and Zhou Zexu, who were advised by Associate Professor Tian Li of Business Administration Department. After general selections, 7 teams were promoted to the semifinal. With in-depth business knowledge, outstanding thinking, and global, far-reaching vision, NKBS players achieved high scores from all the judges during the presentation and defense, thus getting to the final successfully. In the final, all the players were required to read an unfamiliar document, analyze it, produce and present a targeted PPT without any connection to the internet or any possible external data, and then make a defense in two and a half hours. Facing the challenging requirements, the NKBS Team remained calm and finally won the second prize.

      The Competition is jointly sponsored by Sun Yat-sen Business School and Richard Ivey School of Business, Western University. It aims to provide a high-level exchange platform for outstanding students of business schools worldwide, and improve the integrated abilities and quality of participants. NKBS Representative Team has participated in the Competition in two consecutive years. Their achievement not only proves the strength of NKBS students, but also stimulates more students to master professional knowledge and enhanced skills, and continue to improve personal capability in all disciplines, being a qualified part of the new generation to serve the wider community.
