Suitable for Business 2012 was won by Anne Bech, Lene Wie Krog, Sofie Nielsen and Stine Ilum - four anthropologists from Copenhagen University. We have received some comments from the winner team, which we have permission and possibility to share.
Lene Wie Krog tells: “Suitable for Business was a very valuable experience, one that I will remember in the years to come. I learned a lot about the strengths and weaknesses of my own field of study and I enjoyed listening to the speakers at the conference. Furthermore, being part of Suitable for Business has opened new doors for me career wise and I can't wait to explore the new possibilities.”
Anne Bech says: “It was a really nice opportunity to meet students from other "soft" disciplines who are also interested in getting hands on experience with case solving and private business. It was nice to meet the jury, the real life businessmen, and to solve a real life case. I got a kick out of presenting our case solution the 2nd time for the entire jury and audience. It was really nice and funny to present our ideas and find out that they were actually really cool. The pep talks we got along the way were extremely helpful - the guys from venture cap are really talented!”
Sofie Nielsen also had a positive experience: “I learned a lot about the business world and what it takes to enter it as a social scientist, met a lot of interesting people and listened to some really exciting speakers”, and she continues “it is hard to point out one thing that was the best at Suitable for Business. If I have to, I would have to say, that I was very inspired by meeting so many other students with the same goal and the same wish as me: to show that human and social sciences are valuable for the business world. But then again, it was also very inspiring to hear all the different speakers, who made me reflect upon what I myself can do, to show the business world, that I have skills to offer.”
Anne Bech hopes to use the winner check from Unibrew for a trip to Berlin. The team also received the audience price, which included concert tickets from Nordisk Film and Pumpehuset.
