The 4th Annual Internal Case Competition was successfully concluded on Sunday 15th January 2012 at Stenden University – Qatar. This event gave the opportunity to students from different majors and study years to compete as teams in solving business cases and presenting solutions to a committee of judges chosen among the management and academic staff of the university. A total of ten teams competed intensively in a round-robin format to gain a place in the final. Teams composed of three or four students each, analyzed a business case and presented their ideas and solutions to a panel of judges.
