Article by Robert Jones (Lecturer AIBS)
http://cambridgearea.wordpress.com/2009/02/14/aibs-student-t...One of my AIBS student teams won through their IBM UBC heats (held October - December 2008) in which 240 university teams competed. 80 teams went through to the ten semi-finals.
I collected the team - Lukasz Mlodyszewski (Poland), Daniel Kasberg (Germany), Martin Witthoeft (Germany) and Pascal Bornet (France) - at 6am outside the Helmore building on Friday 13th February 2009 and we made our way to the semi final at Proctor and Gamble headquarters at Weybridge.
The journey was quite eventful - snow-covered roads in Cambridge, the A505 closed by flooding, and a very slow moving M25 which resulted in our arriving one hour late at P&G. However the UBC organisers delayed the start of the competition until we arrived.
Lukasz, Daniel, Martin and Pascal quickly settled into the first round of the all-day business simulation. They made an excellent start by taking first place as a result of their clear and daring strategies. In the second round, an excellent team from Sheffield Hallam made a dramatic recovery from their first round deficit and overtook my team.
Sheffield Hallam increased their lead at the end of the third round and it was a two horse race going into the final round. After a nail-biting wait for the results, the Anglia Ruskin team was pronounced winner of the semi-final, by a considerable margin. The long game strategy selected by Lukasz, Daniel, Martin and Pascal had finally paid off.
The team will now appear in the UBC grand final at IBM Europe headquarters on Friday 6th March, competing with the top teams including three teams from Imperial College and two from Exeter.
Anglia Ruskin teams have won through to the grand finals in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Glyn Burton's team was second to Manchester University in 2006 and my team won in 2008.
