University of Connecticut MBA Sustainability Case Competition

Net Impact empowers a new generation to drive social and environmental change throughout their careers. Founded in 2016, the University of Connecticut Graduate Net Impact Chapter's goal is to meet the needs of UConn's graduate students who want to become effective change agents in the business world.

To this end, we are collaborating with our Platinum Sponsor, United Technologies Corporation (UTC), to present an MBA case competition at UConn’s Graduate Business Learning Center in Hartford, CT, to take place in March 2018. The theme of our inaugural 2018 competition will be “Sustainability” with a specific focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and related practices, such as “Creating Shared Value” and “Conscious Capitalism.”

The University of Connecticut MBA Sustainability Case Competition will be a two-day event, with 12 pre-selected graduate business teams from the Northeast Region of the U.S. competing for 3 top prizes ($5,000 total). Participants will have one week to analyze a CSR-themed business case, and one day to finalize and present it to a panel of judges. Judges will be drawn from top regional corporations and business schools, and the three highest scoring teams will receive cash prizes totaling $5,000 (1st Place: $2,500, 2nd Place: $1,500, 3rd Place: $1,000).
