About the competition
The Daniels Fund Ethics Consortium Case Competition allows students to build on the solid principle-based ethical framework central to decision-making in a complex business environment. Ethics demonstrated in the competition convey that principles are a constant foundation — not relative to a specific situation — and that doing what’s right should prevail over self-interest, even when the two appear to conflict.
Student teams of four to six students collaboratively analyze, present, and respond to questions posed by a panel of judges. The experience promises to challenge students’ ethical reasoning, provide a significant networking opportunity, and, in the end, raise students’ awareness of the importance of principle-based ethics.
