와튼코리아는 펜실베니아 대학교의 와튼 경영대학 내 한국인 학생들로 구성된 교내 공식 단체입니다. 2011년 창단 이후 경영전략대회 Business Black Box를 포함하여 다양한 프로젝트를 진행하고 있습니다.

특히 Business Black Box에서는 모든 참가자 2팀 당 1명의 유펜 멘토를 배치해 경영 관련 교육과 실무 경험까지 제공합니다. 고등 교육 과정에서 배울 수 없는 실제 기업의 경영 사례 분석과 경영전략 제시 경험을 통해 참가자들의 지적 호기심을 충족하고 경영에 대한 이해와 관심을 높이고자 합니다.

BBB is a two-tiered tournament, in which selected mentors judge the first round, and invited business professionals judge the final round. A guest from the partnering venture will also join the judging panel in the final round. Mentors will not judge their mentee teams to ensure fairness.

Please note that, depending on the invited judges' preferences for the final round, the below-judging criteria may be used only as a guideline. In the final round, judges will discuss to determine the ranking after all presentations are over.

Judging criteria break down into five different categories: delivery, structure, evidence, creativity, and Q&A.

1. Delivery

2. Structure

3. Evidence

4. Creativity

5. Q&A

The delivery and structure categories measure the overall presentation performance of a team. We look for effective delivery, clear structure, and the use of formal language. While every member does not need to present, the presentation must show all team members engaged in the presentation and the speakers confidently connecting with the audience.

The evidence and creativity categories measure the level of critical thinking of a team. We look for a business solution that is fact-based, thoroughly researched, logically coherent, and implementable yet creative. Because the case differs from year to year, specific criteria in the sections will also vary on the yearly basis. Some potential criteria may include (but are not limited to) profitability, feasibility, and uniqueness.

The Q&A category evaluates a team’s overall professional attitude during and after the presentation. It is crucial for the team to be prepared to answer any questions and defend their ideas during the Q&A portion of the presentation.

In addition to the above judging criteria, outside factors may affect the team's holistic evaluation. Punctuality matters throughout the competition. Timeliness is a sign of respect for everyone involved in BBB, including judges, mentors, and other participants. Each mentor will keep track of his/her team's overall timeliness, and it may reflect on the evaluation accordingly. Professionalism and attitude may be used as criteria in a tiebreaker.
