The program is sponsored by the Vietnam Foreign Trade Bank, the Vietnam Agricultural Bank, and the Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation.

There are three main sections: Management Knowledge, Personnel Identification, and Management Case Studies. The Management Knowledge section consists of 10 multiple-choice questions for all teams about Vietnam's economic events from its accession to the WTO to the present. The Personnel Identification section requires each team to correctly identify a model from the opposing team after they have been disguised in masks and self-designed costumes. In the Management Case Studies section, each team presents a management scenario in a theatrical format to challenge the opposing team to provide an answer.

The competition is a vibrant platform for management students, creating opportunities for interaction between students and successful managers, while also helping businesses connect with future managers and promote their image to students from many universities.
