International Housewares Retail Company Limited was the selected company for this year's case study. Participating teams are required to submit a business proposal to give recommendations on strategies to sustain the company's business growth for the next three years. Students may refer to the company's financial report for better understanding of the company's financial status and its overall business strategies. Based on these business proposals, the reviewers shortlisted, through a blind review, the best six teams to enter the final round of the Competition – the oral presentation, in which they had 15 minutes to present the key points of their proposal and demonstrate their analytical and problem solving skills, followed by a 5-minute Q&A session from the adjudicators.

The adjudication panel on the oral presentation included:

• Mr. Dave Cheng, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director, International Housewares Retail Company Limited
• Dr. Olivia Leung, Principal Lecturer, The University of Hong Kong
• Mr. Webster Ng, Vice-President, HKIAAT / Sole Proprietor, Webster Ng & Co.
• Ms. Josephine Wong, Lecturer, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, School of Professional Education and Executive Developement

The oral presentation was also a blind review where the institutes of the finalists’ teams were not disclosed to the adjudicators and audience. A team led by Chu Wing Yin from Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Kwun Tong) finally won the Championship and the leader, Chu Wing Yin, was awarded the Best Presenter. The award presentation ceremony was held on the same day and winners of various awards are as follows:
