On September 8, 2017, Ni & Co., the representative team from BBA Chulalongkorn University, won the first runner-up title at NUS-SP Group Case Competition 2017, at the National University of Singapore (NUS) Business School, Singapore.

The case competition is regarded as Asia’s Premier Case Competition, featuring students from 16 leading universities around the world, such as the University of Southern California, University of Hong Kong, Peking University, UC Berkeley, to name a few.

The case competition is famed for its unknown case format, where teams do not know the format until the night before case cracking. It was revealed to be a 38-hour case, where we were challenged with identifying how SP Group, a leading utilities provider, could remain relevant to Singapore consumers, in light of electricity market liberalization in mid-2018.

On behalf of the team, we would like to express our sincerest appreciation to the BBA International Program, Chulalongkorn University, for providing us with this valuable opportunity, and Case Club Chulalongkorn for the support and trainings. We also thank Ajarn Dr. Roongkiat Ratanabanchuen, our Team Advisor, for his kind support and guidance, both prior to and during the case competition.

Below are the thoughts of our members:

“The NUS-SP Group Case Competition is definitely one of the toughest experiences I have encountered, due to the unknown case format and talented teams we were up against. I am truly grateful for having such supportive team members. We all put our best into it, and the results exceeded our expectations.” by Mr. Chakrapoj Chitwannapa (Bos), Finance, 4th Year.

“Participating in the NUS-SP Group Case competition has been one of the most memorable experiences in my university life. I'm extremely proud of how far our team has come and the results that we were able to achieve. A huge thank you to everyone who has made it possible!” by Ms. Poonnapat Lalitkul (Poon), Finance, 4th Year.

“Competing at this event has definitely been a massive highlight in my university career. The amount of experiences, friends and most importantly, learning, that have come from have been so incredible that I would highly encourage everyone who is interested to take a shot at joining a case competition. I would like to give a big thank you to my team and everyone who helped along the way.” by Mr. Rutchakan Suthamjariya (Nicko), Finance, 4th Year.

This competition is definitely a valuable opportunity that I am extremely grateful to be a part of. Working with my seniors, I've learned that success can only be attained through dedication and perseverance.” By Ms. Siremon Thongparn (Pim), Accounting, 3rd Year.

The competition results are as following:

1st place: Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, Canada
2nd place: Chulalongkorn University, Thailand
3rd place: Maastricht University, Netherlands
4th place: The University of Hong Kong (HKU), Hong Kong

I am very proud to receive this valuable opportunity from KPMG. KPMG Asean Scholarship does not give me only learning experience but also bright future in my career path. I would like to encourage other students to apply for this scholarship. It is a great chance to step out of your comfort zone.

In applying this scholarship, there are 5 processes that you have to pass. First, the application and resume are required to send to KPMG.

On 30 June, the class of Politics and Government of Thailand had the opportunity to visit Museum Siam, exploring the history and economy during the 1990’s crisis through the Tom Yum Kung Studies: Lessons (Un) Learned exhibition. The exhibition creatively displayed many aspects of the crisis, including a maze of political cartoons, a room full of bubbles, retro posters, art installations that represent facts from the period, decorative graphing lights, etc. Each display was planned with precision, strategically designed to clearly explain and make it easy to understand for the audience. Infographics in both Thai and English are shown, welcoming foreigners and natives alike.
The exhibition was undoubtedly very useful for the students, who were able to delve into the topic with much interest. Causes of the crisis, its effects, how the people responded, what was done to fix the situation and much more was analyzed. Specifically, the students learned about the bubble society, how the people lived under the IMF, debt, the stress and pressure Thai people were under and who they tried to resolve it, what could’ve been of the economy, and more. It was good to know what the economy and society was like back then when most of us were just born. The exhibition not only proved to be enjoyable, but was also very informative.

This visit to Tom Yum Kung Studies: Lesson (Un) Learned exhibition on June 30, 2017 at Museum Siam was intriguing and informative. It was interesting to learn about the crisis in deeper details and the other aspects that I have never known before. The crisis did not occur because of only one person or one factor, the history shows chains of causes and effects that gradually led to the severe economic decline. As a result, many financial institutions, businesses, and individuals were affected. The exhibition has also shown us how people were coping with the crisis in both negative and positive aspects. The bad ones have taught us not to repeat the history, and the good ones will give us the will to fight even when facing the crisis. Thank you Ajarn Pandit for recommending us this exhibition, thanks to the guide for kindly guiding us throughout the exhibition, and thanks to all staffs for accompanying us to the exhibition.
