The Center for Ethics and Business aims to provide an environment for discussing issues related to the necessity, difficulty, costs and rewards of conducting business ethically. Recognizing the special challenges connected with discussing ethical issues in a diverse global economy, the Center encourages a secular and philosophical approach to these matters. 

Our primary program is an intercollegiate student team presentation competition, held in conjunction with the annual Ethics & Compliance Officer Association (ECOA) conference. The Center for Ethics and Business recently concluded its 2009 invitational event in Chicago on September 24, 2009. The LMU/ECOA Intercollegiate Business Ethics Case Competition (IBECC) is scheduled to take place in Nashville, Tennessee in 2010 and Seattle, Washington in 2011. Details will be announced regarding the procedure for selecting the field of 20 teams for the competition in Nashville.
