MBA team scores top marks in exclusive international leadership competition

Six students from the QSB Full-time MBA program demonstrated their superior leadership knowledge and skills at the inaugural Global Business Leadership Competition hosted by UCLA Anderson in Los Angeles, CA. The team took second place – and a $10,000 prize – at the invitation-only competition that welcomed 16 top-tier international business schools in April. The two-day event featured presentations on several real-life cases, culminating in the main case: FedEx’s acquisition of Flying Tigers, a cargo airline in Asia.

“The Queen’s MBA team was outstanding – raising their game continuously throughout the three separate events and the final round,” says Scott Carson, Director, Queen’s MBA, and Professor of Strategy.

First place and the grand prize of $25,000 went to London Business School. Participants also heard from keynote speakers Mark Zoradi, President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group, and Peggy Tsiang Cherng, Co-Chair, Panda Restaurant Group, Inc.
