1st place at the 6th Annual Ryerson Organizational Behaviour Case Competition (OBC)

Jan. 18, 2011 - JMSB brought home another case competition title over the weekend. The Ryerson OBC victory is JMSB’s second consecutive win at the event. The Organizational Behaviour Case Competition (OBC) is Ontario’s premier Human Resources case competition. Until 2010, the event was reserved for Ontario business schools only. JMSB’s entry last year blew away the competition and the team took home the title.

In 2011, JMSB returned as defending champions and faced the challenge head on. Participants had two hours to read a case and twenty minutes to present their solution. During the final round, team JMSB was one of the three finalists. The students presented before a panel of nine judges who are primarily industry Human Resources professionals.

The winning team is composed of undergraduate students Allyson Ifergan, Manish Kapoor and Jessica Kuan. Aaron Dresner and Matthew Fishman were their HR coaches.

Final results:

1. JMSB, Concordia University
2. McMaster University
3. Sir Wilfred Laurier University

The team and coaches want to thank the Human Resources case competition alumni who helped prepare the team for victory. Special thanks go to Head Coach Mark Haber for supporting the competition program, as well as to Rebecca Golt for supporting the team.

A very special thank you to our exclusive sponsor, Pfizer Canada, as well as solutioncellulaire.ca, Concessionnaire Autorisé Rogers, for their support and encouragement of the case competition program.
