联合竞赛方式详见英文介绍：

Xiamen / New Orleans Business Model Case Competition

 

Competition Structure:

Teams made up of two or three Xiamen and four Tulane MBA students would be created by the faculty. 

 

Student teams will be presented the case and then given approximately three hours to develop a new venture concept and pitch it to a panel made up of the fictional funds investors.  Faculty would be available to advise and coach the teams as they prepare their pitches.  After approximately two hours teams would need to submit short executive summaries written in English and mandarin.  Final presentations would be delivered in English, teams may choose to also include mandarin components, slides and visual aides would all be written in mandarin.   

 

Presentations will be done in two rounds, in the first round teams will be divided into two groups in two separate rooms.  In round one five teams would present concurrently in each room, and each team will present for 5 min plus 5 min of questions and answers.  This round will be judged by faculty members from each school potentially supplemented by members of the business community in Xiamen.  Judges will select one winning team from each room.  Students would also evaluate the team presentations in each room, these scores would be collated and used to select one additional finalist ('wild card' team).  This round would take around 70-80 min.

 

Finalists will be given a 30 min break to prepare for the finals presentations.  Executive summaries could not change but teams could modify their presentations and presentation slides.  During this time we could have a guest speaker or panel discussion for the students (minus the finalists).  

 

In round two, the two winning teams plus the 'wild card' team will go on to present to a final panel of Xiamen business leaders.  Final presentations will follow a similar format with the teams given 10 min in total to present and answer questions.  Presentations should be given in English, slides and visual aides should be in mandarin.  The Q&A session would be facilitated by a Xiamen faculty member. Judges would then select a single winning team based on their likelihood to pursue investment opportunities with the proposed new venture concept.  This round would take around 60 min.
