SOM
Business Idea Generation Competition
This competition is open to all Ateneo students with new business ideas that have the potential to be introduced to the market and may take the form of goods or services. Unlike a business plan which is tedious to make, the students will just submit new ideas in a short bond paper size not longer than 2 pages long. There are categories for the Best IT Proposal & Best Science-Related Proposal. A student can submit as many entries as they want. The criteria for judging will be based on uniqueness of idea, novelty of idea and significance to society. Proposals should be dropped at the box located at the JGSOM Dean's Office, 3rd floor of the JGSOM building, by 4:30 PM of September 16, 2005, Friday.
