  • HSMC Entrepreneurship Case Competition 2017

    Congratulations to the winning teams of the HSMC Entrepreneurship Case Competition 2017 – a new initiative jointly organized by the Department of Management and Ana by Karma which is a well-known social enterprise in Hong Kong. Ana by Karma was founded in 2014 for supporting the Bhutanese women who serve as artisan weavers for producing scarves so as to improve their living conditions.

    Over the past two months, participants have analyzed a case focusing on the strategic development of Ana by Karma. On the Presentation Day of the Case Competition on 23 June 2017, three finalist teams presented their business plans and further elaborated their business ideas to a panel of adjudicators including Ms. Quin Thong (Founder of Ana by Karma), Prof. Irene Chow (Head of Department of Management), Mr. Alvin Cheung (Senior Researcher of Our Hong Kong Foundation) and Dr. Kenneth Kwong (Assistant Professor, Department of Marketing). Ms. Quin Thong, together with Ms. Pema Choden (CEO of Ana by Karma), also gave an inspiring closing speech to the participants, underscoring the importance of empowering the village housewives in Bhutan with the scarves and the various channels established to help improve their financial situations.

    The Competition not only enrich our students’ understanding in entrepreneurship through an in-depth engagement into a designated business start-up case, but also engage them to help the Bhutanese families as the winning teams are going to implement their business ideas for the social enterprise.

    Congratulations again to the winning teams!
