The HSBC Malaysia Business Case Competition is designed to provide a platform for young undergraduates to apply their practical business knowledge and skills to real life business scenarios. Since its inception in Malaysia in 2014, the winners of this prestigious case competition will have the opportunity to represent Malaysia in the world’s largest business case competition for undergraduates, the HSBC/HKU Asia Pacific Business Case Competition.  As part of the HSBC Future Skills agenda, a team of four (4) undergraduates representing their respective university are set to compete against other teams in business strategy-making and presentation, by applying technical, critical thinking and soft-skills to analyse a business case, recommend solutions addressing the issues highlighted in the case and present their strategies to a panel of business executive judges. The participation was by invitation only and each invited university could send one (1) team to the competition in the year 2023.
