Business Students Earn Top Global Ranking

Posted: May 10, 2024



A team of four outstanding HIU College of Business undergraduate students scored 12th in a global GLO-BUS online business strategy competition that included 1591 teams from 98 colleges/universities participating in the simulation worldwide. Chandler De Jong, Cassidy Koffroth, Omar Rodriquez, and Noah Stevens competed as co-managers of "Company C" as part of Professor Tom McGlinchey's capstone Strategy & Policy class. 

GLO-BUS participants are given information and must respond with strategic decisions based on that information. The simulation provides new data each week based on previous student decisions. This cycle repeats itself each week throughout the course. Rankings of the best-performing companies worldwide on Overall Score, EPS, ROE, and Stock Price are published each Monday.

In their congratulatory accouncement to Professor McGlinchey, the GLO-BUS author team wrote, "You should be quite proud of your students for such an excellent performance — a performance that reflects quite well on you and the caliber of instruction that students are receiving in your course."
