Diamonds in the rough sparkle during FactSet Case Competition

For the second consecutive year, FactSet sponsored a fall case competition for the 112 students in the School’s Master of Science in Management (MSM) program. The challenge: examine JCPenney’s financial situation and offer ideas to help the company move past its liquidity crisis. Using data and financial statements from 2010 – 2012, the 23 teams had two days to conduct their analyses, put together their solution, create a presentation, and practice their pitch.
