After finishing first in the September 2007 Stora Enso Division, “BBTeam” from Stora Enso Packaging Russia are now through to the BTS semifinals for next year, after tough competition from their colleagues.

Team “Picea” from Stora Enso Finland finished at 3d place, Stora Enso Packaging “Oguretz” team ended up 4th, Stora Enso “Forest” team grabbed the 5th place and Stora Enso “Telegen” team came at 6th place.
The semifinal is run in September 2008 where the “BBTeam” will face the division winners from all around the world to compete for a place in the finals. The top 3 teams in the final will be invited to BTS Awards in Cannes, at the French Riviera for the prize ceremony.
Team leader Tamara Tsurukina had this to say about their tournament experience:“We were happy that we had an opportunity to take part in this training. It was very interesting to imagine ourselves as top managers of the big international company and to understand which responsibility stands in front of them and which decisions they shall make. It was a beautiful training for the company management skills development and for the understanding of the real economic processes which the model of the market simulates very realistically. Furthermore, we were caught by the competitive spirit and gambling that kept in exertion from the beginning to the end of the tournament. It was difficult to suppose that columns of boring figures can arouse so many emotions! And of course, after the victory on this tournament our pleasure was increased many times. Thanks a lot to the coaches and to our rivals.”
