From the Inside Flap
Like the ventures it generates, the story of the MOOT CORP Program is itself one of a successful entrepreneurial startup.
Conceived by two University of Texas at Austin MBAs in 1983 as a business school institution equal in challenge and prestige to the law school's venerable moot court, the MOOT CORP Competition has grown from a UT-only business plan competition to the planet's most famous new venture competition. Elite teams of MBAs from every inhabited continent compete each spring for an invitation to the Global MOOT CORP Competition and a chance to win the $100,000 grand prize.
In No Longer Moot: The Premier New Venture Competition From Idea to Global Impact, Dr. Gary Cadenhead, the Program's Director, chronicles the exciting history of the MOOT CORP Competition from fledgling startup to global powerhouse. Through interviews with past directors, alumni, sponsors, judges and UT administrators and faculty, Dr. Cadenhead shows how the Program survived its infancy, became a pioneer of entrepreneurship education and built upon success to launch continental MOOT CORP Competitions around the world.
The success of the Program is rooted in its realism. It provides MBAs with a risk-free, hands-on environment in which they learn to create and present high quality business plans to prospective investors. Not simply classroom exercises, the ventures are diverse, dynamic and often viable new companies. And the MBAs who create them are some of the brightest young entrepreneurial minds in the world.
