Finalist – McDonough Business Strategy Challenge 2023 (MBSC)


McDonough Business Strategy Challenge 2023 (MBSC) has come to their 19th year. Throughout its eighteen-year history, the MBSC has brought together top business school students from around the world with consulting professionals to provide our non-profit partners with innovative solutions to real-world challenges. After two years of online competition, the 2023 MBSC marks the return to an in-person competition at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. The CUHK team has competed against 17 other international universities and got into finalist.

Congratulations! Here are some sharing from the team:

Brittany Ho (GLEF/3):
‘From the case competition, I gained illuminating insights into how to structure an innovative and feasible action plan for non-profit organisations. Throughout the case-cracking process, we came across the objectives and challenges of them. Then, we devised a step-by-step approach with detailed action plans and ultimately scaled up the collective impact. Aside from that, I learned how to communicate my messages and tell the story in a more appealing, sympathetic and lively way. Most essentially, I am grateful and enthusiastic about meeting teams from around the globe. International case competitions are all about connecting with the smartest and brightest minds. And I would surely cherish the experience for a lifetime.’

Stark Li (GLEF/2):
‘Participating in a non-profit organization case competition was a transformative experience that enhanced my understanding of the critical role played by non-profit organizations in addressing societal challenges. Working with a diverse team, we developed an innovative solution that addressed the unique needs of BBAR we partnered with. Through this process, I gained a profound appreciation for the passion and commitment of NPOs and the many challenges they face in achieving their missions. This experience highlighted the importance of supporting and collaborating with NPOs to create a better world, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of it.’
