The SAM Open Case Study Competition attracts top-performing teams from around the world and demands comprehensive and strategic thinking, along with the ability to identify and solve complex business problems in a rapidly changing global market.<\/p>\n

Nico Raffinengo won first place in the Undergraduate Division of the Business Pitch Competition, and three members of the Marshall University team \u2014 Jamison Lewis (national), Bella Schrader (national) and Maddy Branham (regional) – received the SAM Outstanding Student Award. The SAM Campus Chapter Performance Program also recognized the Marshall chapter as the second place winner in the Small Chapter Division.<\/p>\n

Glen Midkiff, the chapter advisor of the Marshall SAM Chapter, received the SAM Outstanding Advisor Award for the third time as well as the Bronze Leadership Medal, and Dr. Avinandan \u201cAvi\u201d Mukherjee, provost and senior vice president of academic affairs, received the Gold Leadership Medal and the Advancement of Management Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SAM International Business Conference 2023 focused on \u2018Advancing Management: Reimagining Leadership, Innovation, & Sustainability,\u2019 and the Marshall team\u2019s success is a testament to their dedication and commitment to those values,\u201d Midkiff said.<\/p>\n

Another participant representing Marshall was Dr. Kateryna Schray, who co-presented \u201cRe-imagining Student Success Post-Pandemic and Making it Happen: Anticipating Customer Needs in Higher Education\u201d with Mukherjee. D.B.A. student Amber Chatelain presented on \u201cBusiness social responsibility and community crisis response: Perceptions of small business owners in small to midsized communities,\u201d and Sidharth Arora, an engineering management major, assisted with conference logistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cSAM IBC 2023 was my third SAM conference, and easily the best one I\u2019ve experienced so far. It offered many amazing opportunities for networking, team-building, and professional development that were very enlightening for me,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n

The Society for Advancement of Management was established in 1912 with the goal of promoting new management ideas and expertise by building connections among academics, practitioners and students from different disciplines. It benefits from hundreds of volunteers from various fields, including accounting, finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, production, and research and development.<\/p>\n
