On April 20, 2018, Jelly Bean Consulting, the representative team from BBA Chulalongkorn University, won the first place title at RSM Star Case Competition 2018, at Erasmus University, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

 

This year’s edition of the competition, which featured 12 universities from 10 countries, had a special theme: Sustainability. The competition consisted of a 10-hour short case and a 24-hour long case.

 

For the 10-hour case, teams were tasked to acquire more members and creating a social norm for NederlandSchoon, a Dutch anti-littering organization. For the 24-hour case, the challenge was to attain a 100% bottle recovery rate for Coca-Cola in a specific market by 2030.

 

Jelly Bean Consulting placed 1st out of 4 teams in the division for the 24-hour case and as a result, they advanced to the final round. The team presented their solutions to the Senior Executives of Coca-Cola Europe and emerged victorious against two other finalists.

 

On behalf of the team, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the BBA International Program, Case Club Chula, Ajarn Mongkolchai, Ajarn Buraj, Ajarn Nat, and Ajarn Kritinee for their dedicated support and guidance throughout the months.
