【Students’ Feeling】
“Case IT is an international case competition, which started in 2004 focusing on IT industry. It is not only a high-quality competition competing with many professional and famous universities, but also a rare opportunity for international exchange. The Business School of Shantou University gained approval from others in this four-day competition through the behaviors in case competition, social performance, teamwork, innovation ability and English ability. As the only team from China mainland, our case team obtained valuable experience in case analysis with the in-depth communication, showing the vitality and passion in the entire schedule. Finally, we want to show our appreciation to Professor Wu for his patient instruction and also want to thank the support of our Business School and Li Ka-shing Foundation.”
