A Decade-long Streak of Wins

UCR Business team competes in intense ICBSC competition

This year’s event was held virtually, and UCR undergrads took third place in the international competition. The School of Business’s undergraduate team extended their successful run with a third-place finish in the 2021 International Collegiate Business Strategy Competition (ICBSC), the 10th year UCR has entered.

The intensive competition attracts teams who compete over a three-month period. Students make all the strategic decisions: production output, hiring and firing, advertising and marketing, sales force management, financial decisions—even building factories. “This work is intensive, and it’s extracurricular, beyond homework or internships. We don’t participate just to learn,” says Sean Jasso, professor of practice for the School of Business, who serves as advisor to the undergad and graduate teams. “We compete to be ambassadors for the school. We go to deliver excellence.”
