University of British Columbia Makes Final Presentation

The final team has just wrapped up the Q&A session and the presentations are done.

Team W.A.C.C. is made up of four students from the University of British Columbia. All team members are pursuing their undergraduate degree at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. Their majors are Accounting, Management Information Systems, Marketing and Finance with some members majoring in more than one discipline.

UBC’s team chose to focus its strategy on personalization to help teens better manage their savings. The team developed a plan that includes providing unique and targeted services for teenagers to allow them more independence and freedom as they learn to be responsible with their finances.

All the teams have presented diverse, innovative and creative ideas. The presentations have gone well and the Q&A sessions have generated some great discussions.

Later this evening, RBC will announce the final order for the top five teams, including the name of the team that walks away with the grand prize of $20,000. Prizes are being presented at an awards ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel in Toronto. It should be interesting to see the judges’ selection.

Check back later for the order of the final five at http://www.rbc.com/newsroom/links.html.
