About the Global Case Challenge
In March 2010, the One Laptop per Child Association will be gathering over 300 of the world’s best and brightest young MBA, graduate and undergraduate business minds to develop innovative and effective strategies for leveraging leading-edge technologies to educate and empower the world’s poorest children.
In partnership with the Hult International Business School (formerly the Arthur D. Little School of Management) and TalentCastr.com, the One Laptop per Child Association will be hosting case competitions in Boston, London, Shanghai and Dubai in which teams of students from the world’s top universities and graduate programs develop and present innovative solutions to a business case that is of strategic relevance to the One Laptop per Child Association’s mission of empowering the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child.
Prior to the event, TalentCastr.com will be utilizing its automated video interviewing and recruiting platform to identify the best and brightest business minds (top ~10% of applicants to be selected) from over 100 of the world’s top universities and graduate programs to participate in the Boston, London, Shanghai and Dubai events. An illustrative sample of universities and graduate/MBA programs to be represented at the event includes Oxford University, Cambridge University, Harvard University, Stanford University, Hult International Business School, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (Booth) and the Richard Ivey School of Business.
