Teaching, competing, judging
Teaching
At LUSEM, we develop and adapt the case method to fit and work in different learning situations and objectives. Working with cases calls for a systematic approach. Case competitions offer a unique learning environment akin to intellectual sporting events, fostering growth and progress. At LUSEM, these competitions, organised in collaboration with LundaEkonomerna and partner organisations, provide valuable training opportunities for students, including participation in prestigious international competitions like the John Molson Case Competition.
Case-solving calls for analysis, teamwork and judgment and allows the students to train decision making and solving challenging questions. The students get the opportunity to put all their abilities to use in practice while sharing their knowledge and experience in an exciting and inspiring learning environment.
Competing
As in all types of competition, the training and coaching leading up to the actual competition is motivating. LUSEM case competition training activities for students have both general and more specialised formats and content. Above all, the student gets a solid grounding in case-solving in a class format. At least once a year, an open seminar about competing with cases is arranged for all LUSEM students, preparing them to excel in different case competition formats.
Judging
Case competitions rely on dedicated judges who generously share their expertise and knowledge. The judges play a significant role in evaluating the students' performances. As a judge, you have the chance to engage with enthusiastic students and fellow industry professionals, strengthening the bridge between academia and real-world business.
Serving as a judge at case competitions and training events enhances the symbiotic relationship between academia and society, particularly in the business domain. Judges are typically professionals with diverse backgrounds, including senior managers, consultants, and seasoned advisors, all contributing to the development and success of future business leaders.
