If you’re a business star of the future …
If you’re studying at Masters degree level…
If you want to excel in a complex business case…
… then the Vlerick M&A challenge 2015 is just for you!
M&A is one of the most complex decisions a company can make. In this challenge, you will take on a real-life case study. And like any M&A deal, you will be working within time constraints. So if you get through, you’ll have to show us your excellent project and time management skills. Cracking the case will also require a good combination of sound academic knowledge and common sense.
You’ll need to work methodically, and you’ll certainly get a chance to practice your public speaking skills. The Challenge takes place in Brussels on Saturday 14 November 2015.
Only the very best can compete in the Vlerick 2015 M&A Challenge. We’ll bring together the most promising emerging talents on November 14, at the Brussels campus.
