It immersed students in a simulated, vibrant economic marketplace, allowing them to apply business management concepts in a practical setting. Participating teams are challenged to make strategic decisions, evaluate outcomes, and cultivate critical thinking and decision-making skills through a business simulation game.

Among the 250 participants, our students demonstrated their exceptional analytical and strategic skills, securing Third Place in this competition. Please join us in congratulating them on this remarkable achievement.

Student Sharing:

During the competition, effective collaboration with my teammates was essential. We combined our expertise by developing an Excel analytical tool and refining the business plan through open discussion. One memorable moment was how, despite strict time constraints, we maintained clear communication and stayed focused, enabling us to adapt and make well-informed decisions. This experience reinforced the importance of teamwork, trust, and integrating diverse perspectives to achieve a common goal.”

“Participating in this competition has been an invaluable learning experience. It provided us with the opportunity to apply academic theories to practical business scenarios and required us to adapt swiftly when outcomes differed from our expectations. I found it particularly rewarding to reproduce a cost predictive spreadsheet in accordance with the simulation manual and to estimate cash flow for each period. This hands-on approach greatly enhanced my understanding of financial planning.

Through close collaboration with my teammates, I came to appreciate the importance of clear communication and flexibility in decision-making under pressure. Additionally, the fast-paced presentation segment significantly improved my public speaking and critical thinking abilities, as it required us to present and defend our strategies in a concise and persuasive manner. Overall, this competition deepened my insight into business operations and underscored the value of effective teamwork and continuous learning.”

This competition was truly an unforgettable experience for me. It was our second time participating, and compared to last year, we were more fully prepared and had a clearer understanding of the competition format. The competition involves simulating business models and behaviors, requiring us not only to come up with viable business models but also to adjust our business strategies in response to changes in our opponents’ moves. This made me realize that business is a close integration of good ideas and precise execution—without either, a business can hardly succeed.”

A Surprising Roadmap: How US Tech Blockades Sparked a Scientific Pivot in Chinese Firms
A recent study published in Science, co-authored by Prof. Junhan Wang (Shenzhen University), Prof. Xibao Li (Tsinghua University), and Prof. Yanbo Wang (HKU Business School), reveals how firms on the US Entity List adapt. Analysing 12 years of firm-level data, the researchers find targeted companies leverage public science to decode core principles, accelerating China’s rise as a global scientific knowledge producer.
