in Is “crowdsourcing” just cost-cutting 2.0? on Mathew's comments
Business 2.0 did a story about this in December and mentioned how businesses are "crowd-sourcing" at MBA schools by hosting case competitions. It's really funny how these work: a business provides a school with financial data and a problem; then says "GO!" Later that day, the exec has 10 possible ideas to take back to the board. I think it's pretty clever in a time when budgets are being slashed and scrutinized. What's more, if a team of students comes up with a great idea, you may have a recruit at your disposal who really "gets it." I have never participated in one of those competitions but I know people who say they're both fun and great networking events.
