Faculty of Business - John Molson MBA International Case ...

Message from the Organizers
Since its inception, the John Molson MBA
International Case Competition (MBA ICC) has
been Concordia University’s leading event, which
provides a unique and international networking
experience for students, academia and business
executives.
For the 2012 edition, the Organizing Team has
amassed an exceptional list of sponsors, judges,
participants and volunteers, resulting in over 700
guests in attendance. It is our honor and privilege
to be the organizers of this premiere event for
Concordia University and we would like to extend
our sincerest and deepest gratitude to each
and every one of you who have contributed so
generously to this event’s success. This tradition
began thirty-one years ago. May this outstanding
tradition continue to be blessed with your unfailing
support and thrive even more brilliantly in the
future.
It is the dream of every Organizing Team to leave
a long-lasting mark in the competition, and this
year was no exception. Our passion to deliver
an exceptional event has motivated us to work
countless hours to develop and execute a strategy
that would enable us to meet our goal. This year,
we have implemented new initiatives that are
aligned with our theme of “Innovation”. These
include a broader network of sponsors and judges,
creative social events, new showcasing venues
for our sponsors, and of course, an increased
international palette of participating schools.
The four Organizers have also had the privilege of
working with a group of extraordinary, talented
individuals consisting of four Executive Assistants
and one Representative from the John Molson
Sustainable Business Group. They have donated
their precious time, energy, resources and talents
for the MBA ICC. Such dedication is remarkable
and commendable.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all
participants, sponsors, judges, and volunteers for
taking part in this event. Without you, there would
simply be no competition. As well, we would like
to express our appreciation to our Advisory Board.
Their support, wisdom and experience have guided
us through several exciting months of preparation.
We would also like to extend our gratitude to
William Meder, who for the first time took on the
role of Academic Advisor. It is with admiration and
respect that we cherish his advice and friendship.
Finally, we wish to extend a sincere thank you to
our families and loved ones for their unconditional
support and encouragement.
To everyone: Enjoy this week to lead, compete and
connect on the world stage. We wish you the best
of luck!
The 2012 Organizing Team.
