Argus University Challenge – lessons learned from developing the case study

Wiejak-Roy, Grazyna

Abstract

The `case-study method' is frequently used in management education to put theory into practice. The same is true in real estate education. In real estate it is also critical that the students gain practical experience with industry tools used to support valuation and investment decision-making. Since 2009 Altus Group has been running the Argus University Challenge by which students from real estate programmes around the globe can demonstrate their proficiency in using the Argus software.
This session focuses on how the case-study narrative and software skills are put together in the context of the Argus University Challenge while ensuring that the brief meets the requirements of the organiser and attracts a wide range of students from different programmes. Given the shortage of readily available and complex real estate case studies addressing the current challenges, the session discusses a useful resource for students to question their thinking on real estate development and investment, while mastering their technical competency.
