Teams from 11 top business schools will compete this month in Olin’s inaugural case competition Nov. 14-15. Initiated and organized by Leah Kraft, BSBA’16, the Olin Case Competition will tackle a challenge proposed by lead sponsor Capital One.

Leah sums up the case this way, “Provide a recommendation on how Capital One can best leverage its national lending products, the Capital One 360 business, and its retail banking business to most effectively grow its banking relationships in the U.S.” She says the teams are asked to consider this problem from multiple perspectives (financial, branding, etc.), to provide a comprehensive solution for Capital One.

Teams from these top business schools will compete: Boston College, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, Indiana University, UNC, Notre Dame, USC, UT-Austin, University of Virginia, and Wake Forrest University.
