The KPMG Business Administration Paper 2008 is a business plan writing competition organized by the Hong Kong Federation of Business Students (HKFBS). The competition attracted more than 200 teams from eight universities in Hong Kong. The GBS team, comprising four Year-3 students, Oliver Chan, Ruby Chik, Lily Hui and Kayan Leung, was selected among 44 teams to represent CUHK in the semi-final. They subsequently entered the final round where they met other finalists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Baptist University and Hong Kong Shue Yan University. The four teams competed on Oral Presentation Day held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 22 February 2009. The Evaluation Committee consisted of academia and prominent business leaders.
“Tripartite Partnership for Corporate Competitiveness” was the theme of this year’s competition. Participants, as business consultants, were tasked with proposing a business project that involves the cooperation of a government department, a non-government organization (NGO) and a company in providing a product or service that can bring benefits to society. The GBS team proposed a web-based public fund-raising platform which offers direct donations to support extra-curricular activities and development of underprivileged children in Hong Kong. Government departments including the Social Welfare Department and the Education Bureau; NGOs like the Hong Kong Jockey Club; and business corporations such as Yahoo Hong Kong and others would be involved.
With thorough analysis and outstanding performance, the CUHK team became the champion of the competition. The four girls shared a cash prize of HK$20,000 and were awarded air tickets to Tokyo.
