Inhalt: The Global Scaling Challenge is an international student competition about real-life firms that currently face the challenge of scaling globally. Student teams will develop, present, and discuss their suggestion for a scaling strategy with the entrepreneurs and an expert jury. Find more information here: https://gsc.mgt.unm.edu/ Student teams are coached to compete in developing a scaling solution to real-world cases. In doing so, the course revisits key concepts of entrepreneurship such as business models, growth and scaling strategies and discusses their practical application. What’s in it for you? As a student of IBAE you can compete with teams from around the globe and your input can make a real difference for the participating firms. You will be given mentorship and hence can develop your knowledge and skills in addressing real-life entrepreneurial challenges. Additionally, successful student teams can win a share of the price money. Note that this course takes place outside of the regular semester cycle. The regional qualifier event is on March 14, and the main part of the course will take place before this date to coach the students. Thus, students have to be prepared to work intensively during February and March. Usually, there is a short time between the presentation date and the publication of the case materials - this time pressure is part of the challenge. So any student planning longer absences in February and March 2025 should not register for this course! Key Dates February 17, 2025: Student teams have to register with their names February 19, 2025: Case materials will be distributed March 14, 2025: Regional qualifier event Europe/Africa April 4, 2025: Global Scaling Challenge Finals Note that only two teams of 4 students each can participate in the challenge. This means that, depending on group size, there will most likely be an internal pre-selection process. Regardless, all students will benefit by learning from each other as well as the winning teams. If demanded, the preparatory classes can be partially held online.
