Our 9th Schlesinger Global Family Enterprise Case Competition (SG-FECC), the only case competition in the world that deals exclusively with family business, wrapped up this weekend. Despite the pandemic forcing a pivot to a virtual format again this year, we hosted an engaging SG-FECC competition with 23 teams from 5 continents representing some of the world’s finest family business programs.

After a hard-fought final round the Lazaridis School of Business & Economics team from Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada took top honors in the undergraduate division, while the team from University of Ottawa, Telfer School of Management, Canada emerged victorious in the graduate division.

In the graduate league finals, second place went to Sasin School of Management, Thailand, and Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, Germany took third.

In the undergraduate league the second, and third places went to Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands and University of Toronto, Rotman Commerce, Canada respectively.

We hope to resume in-person competition in 2023.
