00:00:02.749 --> 00:00:08.662
The first thing is to ask
what to expect from the case competition,

00:00:08.662 --> 00:00:12.872
and best way to do
that is to hear from one of the

00:00:12.872 --> 00:00:13.759
students.

00:01:59.699 --> 00:02:03.854
So you could hear Truls,
one of our students

00:02:03.854 --> 00:02:08.703
giving some of his reflections
on the on the case competitions

00:02:08.703 --> 00:02:13.243
from the experience he had the
in Århus. We have also had

00:02:13.243 --> 00:02:18.015
students going to Belgium and
we're happy to receive students

00:02:18.015 --> 00:02:23.709
from both Belgium and and
Denmark coming to Oslo

00:02:24.149 --> 00:02:28.139
in a few days.

00:02:28.279 --> 00:02:34.741
As you see from the screen here
the case competition is the kind

00:02:34.741 --> 00:02:37.928
of format that has developed
since it started in the US some

00:02:37.928 --> 00:02:41.253
20 years ago, and there are lots
of different variations of it

00:02:41.253 --> 00:02:48.716
now. But the Common Core is that
it's something that is supposed

00:02:48.716 --> 00:02:50.834
to be developed to solve real
world problems and give you a

00:02:50.834 --> 00:02:55.091
chance to develop skills and
experience in collaboration. And

00:02:55.091 --> 00:02:59.249
for businesses, it's also way to
find talent.

00:02:59.549 --> 00:03:03.720
And to get to know young people
that will apply for new

00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:07.892
positions to get a better
understanding of, of how they

00:03:07.892 --> 00:03:13.617
think and work and what their
skill sets consist of, and also

00:03:13.617 --> 00:03:18.435
for universities like our own, 
it's a way to build

00:03:18.435 --> 00:03:23.161
relationships between the the
education system and businesses

00:03:23.161 --> 00:03:26.839
so that we are able to offer

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:28.689
students an education

00:03:28.669 --> 00:03:33.434
that is valuable for 
them and that they could use

00:03:34.434 --> 00:03:37.048
when they come out "out in the
world", and also of course it's

00:03:37.048 --> 00:03:42.813
a way then for businesses and
universities to network and

00:03:42.813 --> 00:03:48.579
build relationship to students
and candidates, as it is for you.

00:03:48.579 --> 00:03:54.344
It's a way to test 
out and develop skills and

00:03:54.344 --> 00:04:00.336
and build experience and also to
challenge yourself and have some fun.


00:04:00.049 --> 00:04:08.254
Now, how can you prepare
yourself? Well, first of all,

00:04:08.254 --> 00:04:12.612
you won't know the
challenge before you come to the

00:04:12.612 --> 00:04:17.430
case competition. You'll give be
given the the concrete problem

00:04:17.430 --> 00:04:22.400
to solve then. So. So you cannot
over prepare, in a sense. But we

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:26.758
would like you to watch the
videos under resources on the

00:04:26.758 --> 00:04:30.728
website I posted – and also browse
the information that we provide

00:04:30.728 --> 00:04:32.799
on the Growth4SMEs

00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.511
... small medium enterprises
website, that Torunn is

00:04:37.511 --> 00:04:40.789
soon to post in the chat, a link
to that site.

00:04:40.929 --> 00:04:46.319
And just be prepared to 

00:04:46.619 --> 00:04:50.872
share, listen to other people
while you're working and also

00:04:50.872 --> 00:04:58.481
think a little bit about your
strengths and and weaknesses and

00:04:58.481 --> 00:05:00.664
experiences when it comes to
teamwork and solving problems

00:05:00.664 --> 00:05:05.918
from before. That's always
useful because the first

00:05:05.918 --> 00:05:10.384
part of a case competition is to
get to know people on your team.


00:05:10.384 --> 00:05:17.248
You can, on the same website that
I posted earlier, find the

00:05:17.248 --> 00:05:21.771
criteria that the jury will be
working from, and that view will

00:05:21.771 --> 00:05:28.081
be judged from in the kind of
competition part of it. So you could 

00:05:28.099 --> 00:05:33.056
see what we will be looking for, and just try

00:05:33.056 --> 00:05:40.259
to relax a little bit and get
some sleep.

00:05:40.119 --> 00:05:46.038
We have posted most of
the practical or all the

00:05:46.038 --> 00:05:51.851
practical details on the website
and also in the email

00:05:51.851 --> 00:05:52.909
that you have received, 
Or will receive

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.057
if you're from Denmark or

00:05:55.057 --> 00:05:58.720
Belgium, and we have 
practical details about

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.099
traveling, et cetera, there. 
Be careful to to visit the

00:06:00.099 --> 00:06:05.762
website and see the practical

00:06:05.762 --> 00:06:10.962
information there. But of
course, we'll give you

00:06:10.962 --> 00:06:14.639
a chance to ask practical
questions.
