Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
26th Annual NABA X Bentley Business Bowl

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The 26th Annual NABA X Bentley Business Bowl was a one-day campus-wide, business case competition held annually and open to all registered students—graduate and undergraduate. Teams of up to five students of the same class year level compete against other teams of the same level. It is an opportunity for each team to showcase their skills in solving real world business problems and to interact and network with business professionals. A panel of judges drawn from alumni and the professional and corporate community evaluates each team’s presentation.

This year, the theme was ‘Sustainability’ and students tackled case studies related to sustainability problems. An example is the 1st Year case study ‘Fiji Water; Carbon Negative’ retrieved from Harvard Business School. Students were challenged with addressing efforts that could be made the Fiji water bottle company to achieve carbon neutrality.
