The Schlesinger Global Family Enterprise Case Competition

Hosted by the University of Vermont Grossman School of Business (Grossman School), the annual Schlesinger Global Family Enterprise Case Competition (SG-FECC) prepares participants to understand the critical issues that are unique to family enterprise by applying the knowledge and expertise they have developed in the classroom towards solving complex family business cases. During four tough rounds of competition, teams present their case to a distinguished panel of judges who will determine which group best understood, analyzed, and presented the case.
