Job Description

We're excited to continue a long-standing tradition and would be delighted to welcome you to the 32 nd edition of the Roland Berger International MBA Case Competition . Since its launch in 1995, the competition has brought together leading MBA programs from Europe, Asia, and the United States and has grown into one of the most prestigious events of its kind.

For the 2027 edition, we are excited to bring the competition to INSEAD Business School in Fontainebleau , just outside Paris.

The event gives first-year MBA students a unique opportunity to solve a real-world business challenge, showcase their strategic thinking, and present their solutions to a panel of distinguished business leaders . Throughout the competition, teams receive guidance and feedback from experienced Roland Berger consultants , supporting their analysis and sharpening their presentations.

In addition to the case study , the competition provides participants with multiple networking opportunities - both with fellow students from leading global MBA programs and with Roland Berger professionals from various international offices. Participants will also have the chance to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Fontainebleau and Paris , one of Europe's most exciting cities, with traditional dinners and dedicated time for sightseeing with us!

Ready for some more good news?
To make things even more rewarding, the international finals in Winter 2027 will offer a monetary prize of €4,000 for the overall winning team (€1,000 per team member) and €1,000 for the runner-up team (€250 per team member)!
