Sloan Students Win Yahoo! Case Competition

A team of MBA students from MIT's Sloan School of Management will take home $5000 from California, have won first place in a business case competition sponsored by Yahoo! and held at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business.

A team of 4 second-year MBA students from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business took second place. Students from UCLA's Anderson School of Management won third prize.

Competitors were asked to devise a business plan for a Yahoo! television channel that would make Yahoo! as strong a brand in broadcasting as it is on the Internet.

Student teams from nine schools took part in the competition. In addition to Sloan, Ross, Anderson, and Haas, the schools represented were: Cornell University's Johnson School; the Columbia Business School; the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School; and Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
