International Business Case Competition is a business case competition where teams of national and international university students solve real world business challenges through analyzing scenarios with problem-solving skills, developing strategies, and presenting systematic solutions as professionals.
Engaging in last year’s IBCC was a game-changer, amplifying my analytical and creative thinking in applying business know-how. Notably, presenting it directly to top management of the case contributor was a hands-on lesson in effective problem-solving.
I firmly believe that incessantly questioning “why” is pivotal for success, coupled with assembling a diverse team, as exemplified in my case where each member of my team came from different majors.
To those entering business case competitions for the first time, don’t be shy to seek mentors for their invaluable feedback, gaining new & fresh perspectives, and ideas from their experience!
Participating in IBCC GBF marked my debut in business case competitions. Despite the initial challenges of tackling a digital banking case, my team’s dedication led us to the finals. The offline pitching and debates were tough, but the experience was invaluable for learning, discussion, and personal growth.
Teamwork is essential in these competitions; my success is owed to my team’s active brainstorming and collaboration. Clarity in understanding solutions and delivering them with confidence is key. Feedback is crucial, and continuous improvement is a part of success, as emphasized by GBF’s mentoring.
As a first-time participant, self-doubt was inevitable, but embracing challenges and giving your best is vital. Regardless of the outcome, the learning process is always rewarding. Lastly, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from those with more experience.
The IBCC held by Ganesha Business Fest (GBF) was one of the best business case competitions I’ve ever participated in. With a prominent case collaborator given to us, a complex yet interesting way to solve and create the strategy for it. A helpful committee, absolutely great mentors, and judges create unforgettable experiences.
I believe one of the keys to winning this competition is truly understanding what matters most in the case and creating a comprehensive yet easily understandable strategy that is well-suited to the needs and standards provided by the case collaborator.
For first-timers, I suggest never giving up and persisting until, at one point, you gain the momentum to win. Don’t forget to seek advice from more experienced individuals (mentors), access best practice resources, and allocate time and commitment among all team members.

The theme is ‘Blueprinting Industry 5.0: Bridging the Path to Circular Sustainability’, derived from Ganesha Business Festival’s grand theme: ‘Sync The Green Mobius’. This year’s theme encapsulates the merge of circular economy principles with the advancements of Industry 5.0, reimagining a sustainable future for the business landscape.
