Win a share of $5000 and boost your CV: be part of the Deakin Bowater Business Challenge

The Deakin Bowater Business Challenge (DBBC) is a competition for current undergraduate business and law students. It’s a great opportunity to develop your problem-solving skills, graduate employability and industry networks.

You might even take home some cash!

How it works

Working in a team of four, you’ll undertake research and present your findings on this year’s challenge: Fully Promoted Expansion Strategy: Customise or Standardise.

You can enter as a team or as an individual – we’ll allocate individuals to a team. Winning teams will be awarded cash prizes.

Timeline

Why you should take part

2021 participant Ani Prakash, whose team won the competition and scored $2000, encourages all eligible students to enter:

Student Ani Prakash‘My Business/Law Mentor told me that what you put into your university experience is exactly what you will get out of it. This has stuck with me ever since.

‘While I’m sure this isn’t the first time you heard about the importance of getting “real-world experience”, no one talks about how to get it. It can feel like the job market is a catch-22 where you need the experience to get a job, but you can’t get experience because you don’t have a job.

‘Well, if that sounds like the pickle you are in, then the DBBC is right up your alley.’
