Dear members,

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the development of our society this year. We think that we have overachieved our expectations and we are proud of our achievements in case competitions, events and collaborations.

Even though the current pandemic has sadly impeded our in person activities, we have successfully managed to transition to online events. Most importantly, we were able to form strong partnerships and connections with organisations, students and societies from all around the world.

We hope that you enjoyed this academic year with AUCG, and that we helped you with your development towards consulting.

The current committee will sadly have to say goodbye to AUCG, however, we strongly believe that AUCG is in good hands and will be able to increase its outreach even more.

Wishing you all the best,
The 2020/21 AUCG committee

The 2020/21 committee would like to congratulate the new committee and wish them success in the upcoming year!

This post is dedicated to our teams that participated to the 2021 International Case Championship. The competition consisted of two challenging rounds and was virtually hosted on the 13th of March. This year we have managed to send two teams who have competed against students from LSE, KCL, UCL, Imperial and other prestigious universities.

One of our teams (picture below) achieved successfully the second place within the competition. Hence, let's applaud Jaimie Lee Barban, Ryan Knox, Masroor Faiyaz and Shaun Hunter for continuing our success at case competitions!

But, we would also like to congratulate our second team formed from Miriam Tiefel, Julia Kihlstrom, Amber Feng and Diana Quezada Ortega for representing our university and society!

The first round of the competition was focused on HP, a leading hardware, software and service provider. In 2012 the company had taken the first steps to enter the 3D printing industry through an OEM contract with Stratasys, one of the market leaders in 3D printing.

Our teams were challenged to devise a strategy for HP, deciding whether they should stay in the market continuing they partnership with Stratasys, to acquire Stratasys or to cancel their contract and leave the market altogether.

In the second round our teams were asked to re-evaluate their recommendations under the assumption that a few months after HP decided to implement their strategy, a pandemic caused lockdown measures and disruption of economic and business activity worldwide.
