On April 18, 2016, 300 students from 8 countries went from strangers to colleagues in one of the world’s most amazing events for business students. Students were tasked with reviewing a business case study about Sony’s Playstation 4. The teams served as a consultant to the head of Marketing for the Sony PS4 to help develop a strategy to deal with important decisions that lay ahead for the company.
Keynote speakers were Michael Katz, Senior Partner of Sterling Equities and Ben Kassoy, Editor-in-Chief of DoSomething.org.
Thank you to all students, teachers, administrators, judges, staff, business mentors and partners, volunteers, parents, and our host United Federation of Teachers.
