The case competition, organized by
Thunderbird School of Global Management,
is sponsored by Hilti, world leader in
developing, manufacturing and marketing
top-quality products for professionals
in the construction industry and in
building maintenance. The competition
started with 35 teams and was narrowed
to 12 teams after the first round of
judging, and only six teams made it to
the finals. The other teams competing in
the final round include two teams from
Georgia Tech, and teams from Georgetown,
Rice University and University of Texas,
Dallas. Each team had two weeks to come
up with their solution to the case which
was written by Hilti and was based on
their HR practices.
The team will be competing for a
first prize of $5,000, second prize of
$3,000 and third prize of $2,000. If you
see these ladies in the hall
