I am very proud to announce that our Olin team brought home top prizes from the 18th International Case Competition sponsored by the Operations Management Club at the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
Team members: Chase Huey, Saurabh Singh, Prasanna Shrivastava, Austin Murray and Qu Jiang (MS-SCM), won First Place in the prestigious competition ($5,000) and the Best Presentation Award ($2,500)!
It is particularly gratifying to sweep these awards at Dean Gupta’s alma mater – I am sure he is doubly proud of that.
