A team of four students in the Flexible and Professional MBA programs at Georgia State University’s J. Mack Robinson College of Business won the National Black MBA Association Case Competition sponsored by Chrysler Group LLC at the group’s annual meeting, held this year in Atlanta.
The Robinson team, composed of Uchenna Agharanya, Stephen H. Jones, Osereme Osara, and Brandon J. Smith, bested 28 other teams who had traveled from throughout the U.S. to participate in the competition. Brett Matherne of the Department of Managerial Sciences was their faculty advisor.
Agharanya, Jones, Osara, and Smith brought home more than bragging rights. Their hard work paid off with a $25,000 scholarship awarded to the first-prize team.
Teams were assigned to analyze and recommend marketing positioning for Chrysler’s new crossover Jeep Renegade.
