A plan to revive an ailing drugstore chain has won a Naveen Jindal School of Management student team the top prize in a national competition. The five students, who graduated from the Full-Time MBA program in May, won the Turnaround Management Association's 2013 Carl Marks Student Paper Competition first-place award in the case analysis category. The team was to receive the award and $3,000 in prize money at the organization's 25th annual conference this week in Washington, D.C. The award is the third TMA honor for a Jindal School entry in three years. A student's restructuring plan won second place in case analysis in 2012, and another entry received first place in the same category in 2011.
