Business students dominate Deloitte Case Competition

Deloitte held a case competition at Mays Business School this year – a first at Texas A&M University. Of 150 applicants, six teams of four were selected.

The competition was open to all majors, and the top two winning teams were comprised of Mays Business School students. Taking first place was “It’s Business Time,” with members Aniket Patel, Hannah Walsh, Aakash Pai and Chris Eumont. Members of the second-place team, “The Real Consultants of Mays,” were Andrew Hitscherich, Daniel Moore, Amanda Parkman and Kyle Bratton.

Deloitte regularly holds case competitions at Rice University and the University of Texas. This was their first time to hold the competition at Texas A&M. The Deloitte consultant organizing the event is Clayton L. “Clay” Whitaker ’90, who received a marketing degree at Texas A&M.

A case competition presents a business situation that the team must devise a solution for and then present.  The teams generally create a PowerPoint to present their solutions.  They are judged on the validity of their recommendations, their presentation skills and their creativity in creating their solutions.
