The Business Analytics Program at Auburn University’s Harbert College of Business hosted the 1st annual University wide Business Analytics Case Competition in 2022. This case competition provides an opportunity for undergraduate students to showcase and sharpen their analytical skills and solve a real-world business problem.
Teams are asked to analyze the client’s business problem, identify insights and formulate their results and recommendations. Teams submit a short executive summary report explaining their approach, analysis and insights. A panel of corporate judges evaluate team submissions on their quality of solution, methodology/modeling and quality of presentation delivery.
