83%
of participants want to learn more about family business!
Two student clubs, Toronto Entrepreneurship Association (TEA) and TEDxMetU collaborated on a case competition event focused on family business.
The first day of the event featured Dr. Francesco Barbera, the FBI’s Academic Director, providing an overview of selected family business concepts and an introduction to fundamental case competition strategies. The day also featured a motivational speaker.
The second day of the event had each team present their analysis on family business case written by the FBI just prior to this event. Given the students were brand new to case competitions, the judges were very impressed with the teams’ outputs – and found it incredible that these first and second year students had never participated in case competitions before. Definitely building a core skill!
The attendees were surveyed and while most of them were not involved in a family business, 83% stated they want to learn more about family business!
Special thanks to the case competition judges:
- Dr. Francesco Barbera, Academic Director, Family Business Institute
- Amanda Edwards, TRSM alumna, past winner of the global family business case competition (2023)
- Alex Albarelli, KPMG Private Enterprise
- Suha Suleman Lalani, Microsoft AI Specialist, TMU Alumna
Congratulations to the winning team – and all teams who used their limited spare time to learn, analyze the case and present.
