IMBA students dominate NCKU Eagle Project Contest Awards
Tainan, TAIWAN, March, 05, 2009 – International Students from the International Masters of Business Administration (IMBA) department were the overwhelming winners in the Business Proposal Contest sponsored by the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Eagle Project.
The IMBA represented the Institute of International Management (IIM) department as they swept the top three awards and also had the first runner-up in the University wide contest. There were 14 different groups who submitted entries, representing various undergraduate and graduate programs across NCKU.
Entrants of the contest had plenty of flexibility in terms of ideas. Students were free to propose any business idea. The requirements were that all groups must submit a 3-page outline and give a 35-minute presentation.
The top prize of $30,000 NTD went to the "HoHoHo" group featuring IMBA senior student Ottavia from Indonesia, IMBA graduate student Chuluunbaatar Enkhbold (Boogii) from Mongolia and Paramita Asri from Indonesia who came from the Institute of Creative Industry Design (ICID) department. Their idea was the proposition was that of a relaxing stress relieving cafe - a place where students could take out their stress and frustrations in a controlled atmosphere, while enjoying a wholesome meal.
The second place prize of $20,000 NTD went to the "Eagle United" group featuring IMBA senior students John Qubti from Canada and Jonathan Kirkwood Dickerson from the United States. The Eagle United group introduced a step by step revolutionary way to unite the NCKU community. In essence, their idea was getting native English speaking international students at NCKU to teach English on campus to local Taiwanese students. There was also a component in where these international students tended to the needs to local Tainan area businesses to help them be more proficient in English. This group also consisted of local Taiwanese students Ada Chang and Frances Huang from the Department of International Business.
While the third place prize of $10,000 NTD went to "Apex Solutions" led by senior student Martin Ortega-Azurduy from Bolivia as they presented on the advancing proliferation of RFID cards in cell phones.
Fourth place and honorable mention went to "Global Views" group, which consisted of IMBA senior students Jason Lin from the United States, Christine Cacnio from the Philippines and Mike Todosichuk from Canada. They had presented a business model for an English service that involves heavy simulation teaching.
The NCKU Eagle Project is pleased to announce the awards and will likely continue the contest next year pending school funding.
