The 6th edition of the project started in 2005. More than 290 teams – 1300 participants registered to participate in the competition. In comparison with the previous editions it was a record number of nearly 60 companies and more than 50 universities joining simulation.
The 6th edition , like the previous one, consists of two stages. During the first round in five decision cycles – which takes nearly two months – teams were taking complex decisions on all business areas of their companies . After the first stage 24 corporate teams (including two represented by the private MBA schools ) and 50 student teams – a total of 74 teams advanced to the next stage.
Phase II started on September 1 and finished on October 19 . We observed 10 groups ( markets ) . The high level of participants raised the level of the game . At the end we had 10 leaders , one from each group.
After two rounds, it’s time for finals . For the first time in Poland the final was a two-day session. Due to such a large number of teams, it was necessary also to organize a Semi-finals . November 8 teams met at the headquarters of Deloitte to confront their knowledge and skills. Only six teams with the highest value of the shares advance form the semi-finals and compete on the next day ( November 9 ) . Thanks to the involvement of one of the honorary patron – Warsaw Stock Exchange , virtual battle for share prices took place on the stage of a real trading floor – Warsaaw Stock Exchange Trading Floor .
The winner of the 6th edition of the Global Management Challenge is a team GROM , who represented Poland at the World Finals in April 2006 in Warsaw
