GBEN4006 Case Study:

Global Banking School (GBS) is a fast-growing higher education provider in the United Kingdom. The institution has 10 campuses across UK and is expanding further due to its popularity amongst education-seekers. Recently, the CEO of GBS has received a request from your local council to participate in a charity event to raise funds for underprivileged children living in your local community. The event is scheduled to happen in 20 weeks’ time. To help raise maximum donations, the CEO has instructed the senior management team to organise a fund-raising event at your campus within that time frame. Doing so can help the GBS senior management team in its goal to raise awareness amongst the enrolled students and collect as much funding as possible for the social cause contribution.
