Participants will analyze real-world business dilemmas and case studies, proposing practical solutions while navigating ethical considerations and high-pressure decision-making.
Participants will manage a portfolio by trading shares across multiple companies while responding to real-time market developments, with the highest portfolio value determining the winning team.
