A quick note for those readers looking for a Friday news fix – the Financial Times published a few interesting items today. Firstly, INSEAD fared very well in the 2007 European Case Awards, which recognize the authors of popular case studies and their associated institutions. The school won in seven of the nine categories, including general excellence in case writing and best overall case. Across an ocean but on a similar topic, students at Haas will be hosting an unconventional case competition for fellow MBA students from a range of schools, all aiming to examine the Oakland Unified School District and consider how to alleviate its financial troubles. Finally, on the subject of educational offerings, Kellogg announced last week that it will be adding a Saturday MBA option to its part-time degree roster, offering students the same access to faculty and networking opportunities as the evening program on a schedule that might be more workable for some.
