Eagle has Landed

Winners of the fifth Inte-grative Business Case Competition in the College of Business Ad-ministration are the team of (from left) Sharon Courtney Carson, Kim Holder, Dixon Doege, Kate Chaney, Chase Beasley and Susan Croft. Every graduating senior in the college took part in the event on one of seven teams. Working in teams of six, they presented their proposals for Eagle Food Centers, a regional grocery store chain. The teams played the roles of consulting firms respond-ing to a request for proposal from Eagle’s Board of Directors. The initial request included a packet of information about the firm and asked the teams to develop a strategic plan for the firm and recommendations about how to implement that plan. In addition to a comprehensive written proposal, each team made a 20-minute pre-sentation of their plan to the board (volunteer fac-ulty from the college), followed by 10 minutes in which the board could ask questions about the plan.
