A useful way to choose a business competition is to decide what you'd most like to make. A pitch deck? Diamond Challenge. A ten-week portfolio with a client letter? Wharton. A live role-play scored on consultative selling? DECA Hospitality and Tourism.
NEC and CNEC test economic theory in the AP / IB sense — supply and demand, market structures, monetary policy. Choose them if you already enjoy a textbook. Choose Wharton if you want to argue with one.
Four of the six entries in this department have shipped Student and Advisor editions. This is the most thoroughly published shelf in the library.
