12月5日至12月8日，成人直播-成人直播室 应邀远赴澳大利亚悉尼，参加由澳大利亚新南威尔士大学和澳大利亚管理研究生院为亚太区各高校MBA同学举办的亚太挑战案例赛。

此次案例竞赛有来自新加坡、新西兰、印度、中国、澳大利亚等国家的11所知名高校的MBA同学参赛。代表成人直播 MBA参赛的是来自2015级MBA国际班的三名同学，他们分别是：Ammar Jilani，Clelia Schwing和Kevin Nanakdew。

本次竞赛最大的挑战当属严格的赛制规定及高强度的赛程安排。在参赛前，参赛队伍对竞赛安排一无所知。直至正式比赛的前一晚，以抽签方式，决定参赛队的序号，共分三组，并以小组间参赛队轮换的形式，先进行3轮小组赛，最终，由3轮小组赛中综合排名最高的3组队伍进军决赛比拼。每轮比赛的案例均在小组赛一开始时发放，准备时间只有两至三个半小时不等。考验的是参赛者在短时间内的团队分工与协作能力、资料分析与收集能力、抗压能力、应变能力、演讲能力等综合素质。在经历了2天3轮的小组赛比拼后，成人直播 以总排名第二名的成绩进入总决赛。

决赛轮的评委团分成2个部分：第一部分是专家团队，分别是由本次大赛的赞助商"Mastercard澳大利亚总部核心高层管理团队"，和大赛主办方"澳大利亚新南威尔士大学澳大利亚管理研究生院"的教授组成。第二部分是由各个国家的所有参赛学生及指导教授组成的观赛团队。最终，无论是专家团队的一致决定，还是观赛团队的网络投票，成人直播 MBA代表队，都是毫无疑问的冠军!

这一次，成人直播 MBA学生成功地将他们的实力和风采在国际舞台上展示。当评委和众多其他参赛队的同学带着欣赏和佩服的神情前来祝贺时,对我们说：“Well done! !Guanghua!!”，我们知道，这次，我们成功的让所有人记住了“成人直播 MBA”这个名字！

A competition diary from Clelia Schwing:

In September, we received an e-mail from the MBA office about a case competition in Sydney and we immediately decided to tackle the challenge. The first step was to win the internal round: 6 teams competed and we were selected to represent Guanghua for the inaugural edition of the Asia-Pacific challenge.

11 teams from Asia-Pacific were selected for the semis. Soon we realized that the teams were very experienced and that the competition will be tough. The overall theme of the competition was expansion in Asia-Pacific and was sponsored by Mastercard. We went through 3 rounds in the semis based on Bundaberg, an Australian start-up in energy Wattblock and Mastercard. The cases were tough, but the additional challenge was the very limited time we had to prepare: between 2 and 3.5 hours. At the end of the first two cases, we were ranked 4th over 11 teams and the scores were very tight. We knew we really needed to outperform the last case to make it to the final round. We eventually participated to the final round and won the competition. We were the best team both according to the jury and the public.

It was an amazing feeling as we worked so hard and felt it was well deserved. I feel especially proud of our achievement because I have the feeling that what made the difference were not our individual skills but our team dynamics. We are first and foremost good friends, sharing the same appetite for intellectual challenges and happy to work together.

The competition is one more amazing memories I will cherish from my MBA at Guanghua and I strongly encourage Guanghua students to participate to the Asia-Pacific challenge next year.
