The HKUST Business School (SBM) believes that through participating in business competitions, students can draw upon the concepts and principles learned throughout their study. This allows students to acquire effective techniques for interpersonal communication and teamwork in addition to real life opportunities and experience of thinking-on-your-feet. It also simulates the urgency, complexity, and uncertainty prevalent in "real-world" business organizations.
Undergraduate business students who attain certain level of achievement in business competitions (e.g. winning teams in business competitions), may make applications for enrolling in SBMT 3300 Business Competitions and earn 1 credit in the Winter / Summer Semester. Approval will be granted on a case-by-case-basis.
