The aim of the competition was to promote integration of knowledge in management and finances, whereas its main objective was to verify the knowledge and skills acquired at university studies and to check their use in practice.

The competition was addressed to students of the 3rd year of full time 1st degree studies or uniform master’s degree studies in economics, finance and management. Each university / department was represented by only 1 team. The team was comprised of at least 3, and not more than 5 students.

The competition was held in stages. The first two days were devoted to two stages of the competition during which participants analyzed cases provided especially for the event and prepared their reports recommending solutions to the presented problems. Each day ‘case study’ referred to a different aspect of corporate operation. Only two teams got to the last third stage of the competition. The winning teams entered into negotiations that were conducted according to the guidelines given by an expert.
