Attention all business students! We'd like to formally introduce the upcoming Shell Case Competition that SCMA is hosting! This case competition is a great resume builder, and the top 3 winning teams will receive cash prizes of $500, $300, and $200! Registration for the competition is open until Monday, March 18th. Teams should consist of 2-4 members. On Thursday, March 21, registered teams will be debriefed on the case by Shell representatives. Teams will be tasked with developing a solution and presenting their conclusions to the judges, including a Shell representative, on Wednesday, March 27. This is a fantastic way to gain experience and learn about the challenges that supply chain professionals face today.
