Focus on a real-time, real-life issue facing a global entrepreneur's organization.

Student Experience
Rebecaa Radon, an MBA student shared her experience with the ISE Case Competition 2011.
"Competing in the ISE Case Competition is one of the highlights of my MBA experience. It was an incredible opportunity to use the skills I've gained in the MBA program to potentially drive meaningful impact in an innovative social venture. And that impact ultimately benefits the people whom the venture works to support, which is what it's is all about. It was also fantastic to network with students in top MBA programs at other schools, comparing notes to see what we could learn from each school’s efforts to promote social entrepreneurship. The chance to contribute to an existing social venture in a competitive arena while networking with others who share a passion for social entrepreneurship was an invaluable experience."
