The team from Slovak Republic, a managers team, was the winner of the 2010 International Final.
Slovak Republic joined this competition of strategy and management just 9 years ago and this is their first international victory.
“We prepared carefully for the competition, but the fact that we are friends and know each other well was important for our performance, "explained Michal Adamski, leader of the winning team, after the results were published. The Team Slovakia was not always in the top positions, however, managed to reach the top in the final decision, in a last effort to win. A strategy that was previously used in the semi-final and that made Slovakia one of the most feared teams. Michal Adamski says they faced a group of teams with different management philosophies and ultimately was the investment in machines that made the difference.”
