Rule Update!

2009-02-19T04:18:00.000-08:00

Dear Participants!

As you get ready to solve the case at hand, we inform you that management have decided your work is too sensitive and important for the organisation to know of before the final findings.

Hence: You cannot contact the case company for interviews or information.

Furthermore, you are still potentially competing with other top-tier consultancy firms on this assignment and you depend on their pre-study.

Hence: You cannot contact any people mentioned on the "acknowledgement" section of the case.
