The Falls School of Business at Anderson University will Thursday host its annual MBA Business Plan Competition. The event will feature teams of MBA students from Anderson, Fishers and Speedway competing for top honors in a "Shark Tank"-themed contest.

The teams will present their business plans to a panel of judges at the competition, which takes place at the Anderson University Flagship Enterprise Center. The event will also feature speakers including Goodwill of Central and Southern Indiana Chief Executive Officer Kent Kramer and Fishers-based ClearObject CEO John McDonald.

"This is an example of one of the opportunities FSB MBA students have to make real-world application of the concepts and theories they have learned through the program," said Jeffrey Buck, associate dean of graduate business programs at the Falls School of Business. "Many of the plans that have been developed as part this initiative have resulted in successful, sustainable businesses."

The competition is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. and is open to the public.
