CANNES, France and STAMFORD, Connecticut, June 10, 2009 – BTS, the world leader in customized business simulations and other discovery learning solutions, today announced the winners of the 2008 BTS Global Tournament.

Top winners DB Schenker Poland, second place winners Accenture Spain, and third place winners SKF Austria were honored in an awards ceremony hosted by the BTS Tournaments division of BTS on April 25.
"These three teams put their business acumen, teamwork and entrepreneurial skills to work to successfully run three simulated companies over four-year periods, and have gained at least that many years of experience, as well as cross-disciplinary expertise, in the process," said Taavi Thiel, senior vice president, BTS, and head of BTS Tournaments.
