Ho (V/R), Nov. 10, GNA – Team Ra’ah of the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) has emerged national champion of the 2026 Global Management Challenge (GMC), earning the opportunity to represent Ghana at the international competition in Nigeria.
The team clinched the top position after emerging victorious in a highly competitive national contest involving 23 teams from 20 universities and three corporate institutions across the country.
The Global Management Challenge is an international business management competition that uses a business simulation platform to assess participants’ strategic thinking, decision-making, teamwork and leadership skills.
It brings together university and corporate teams to manage simulated companies and make strategic business decisions in a competitive environment, providing participants with practical management experience.
The Ghanaian competition commenced on September 30, with participating teams competing in the first round for one week.
Eight teams subsequently qualified for the national finals held on October 16, where Team Ra’ah distinguished itself to emerge the overall winner.
As national champions, the team will represent Ghana at the international competition scheduled for November 11 to 14 at Victoria Island, Lagos, Nigeria.
The competition is expected to bring together national champions from various countries to compete for the coveted World Championship title.
Mr Vincent Arkhurst, Team Leader of Team Ra’ah, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on behalf of the members, said their participation in the competition had been a valuable journey of learning, growth and development.
He said the experience had broadened their perspectives and strengthened their appreciation of teamwork, discipline, commitment and collaboration.
Mr Arkhurst said the lessons acquired would continue to guide members, both individually and collectively, as they pursued greater achievements and contributed positively to their communities.
He expressed appreciation to the organisers and all stakeholders who supported the team throughout the competition, saying they were proud to be associated with the Global Management Challenge.
He said the team looked forward to applying the knowledge and experience gained to achieve greater success at the international level.
