Thoughts from the teams

Gossip Update: Team Santiago remarked that they "would rather forgo the prize money of $25,000 and take ipads instead". (Just wondering why they would not use the $25,000 to buy the ipads instead!) One member of the team who had worked in the telecommunications industry had remarked that "this case was very relevant to his previous job and when he returns to the industry", he would be able to use the same learning experiences that this case competition provides.

Strolling back after dinner, Team Sao Paolo thought that the case "was definitely challenging and consisted of a lot of issues to think about". The team was now progressing with structuring the presentation and working on the slides. The team were also very statisifed with the multimedia format that the case was presented unlike the previous years where the case was distributed in paper format.

Team San Jose commented that they "were on schedule" after experiencing a slowdown for 4 to 5 hours but the "last 3 hours have a been a real burst". The team had split into 2 groups, 1 group working on research and the other working on the slide deck, it was only recently that the group got back together as a team. The team also remarked that "this year, the question was more structured as compared to last year". But overall, the team was "confident and started playing the devil's advocate and were anticipating the questions from the judges tomorrow". Looks like Team San Jose is on a roll!!!
