Office Workers' presentation
Nina Hamaguchi, first-year-APM student, the member of Office Workers, was glad and surprised to get first prize. She said that she knew that it would be difficult to challenge JBCC, but she wanted to implement and deepen what she learned from management class, so she tried it. Nina felt it was tough to make a presentation while unifying all members thought.  She also said they took lots of times to prepare because all of teammates were first-year students and they don't have enough knowledge.
