Team Assignment.
We will accept 20 students for the year’s case competition. Five teams of four students each will be comprised of students mixed across universities. Although there will be a focus on MBA program students, students in other related programs are eligible to apply. There is no prep work required of the teams – Kellogg faculty and staff will pre-assign each student to a team, and students will be notified of their assignments at the competition.

All students accepted to the competition will be fully funded. The event will be held at GSK’s headquarters at 980 Great West Road, London, UK. GSK will generously provide expenses to fund travel to and from the event, and lodging/food expenses in London.
