Job Description

After celebrating the fantastic 30th anniversary of the Roland Berger – IESE International MBA Case Competition this spring, we’re excited to carry on this long-standing tradition and would be delighted to welcome Booth to the next edition in 2026.

As always, we are delighted to invite INSEAD to take part in this prestigious global event, co-hosted by Roland Berger and IESE Business School in Barcelona since 1995. Over the years, this competition has united leading MBA programs from Europe, Asia, and the United States, and has grown into one of the most prominent events of its kind.

The event gives the MBA students a unique opportunity to solve a real-world business challenge, showcase their strategic thinking, and present their solutions to a jury panel of distinguished business leaders. Throughout the competition, teams receive guidance and feedback from experienced Roland Berger consultants, supporting their analysis and sharpening their presentations.

In addition to the IESE case study, the competition provides participants with multiple networking opportunities - both with fellow students from leading global MBA programs and with Roland Berger professionals from various international offices. Participants will also have the chance to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Barcelona, one of Europe’s most exciting cities, with traditional dinners and dedicated time for sightseeing with us!

Ready for some more good news?

🏆 To make things even more rewarding, the international finals in Spring 2026 will offer a monetary prize of €4,000 for the overall winning team (€1,000 per team member) and €1,000 for the runner-up team (€250 per team member)!
