The Center for Ethics and Business at LMU held
its 15th annual Business Ethics Fortnight Case Competitions during the
month of April.
Teams participating in the competition were asked
to research a contemporary issue in business ethics of their own
choosing and prepare a 20-30 minute presentation, which they presented
to a panel of judges. Teams explained the legal, financial and ethical
dimensions of their problem, and then proposed a solution that must pass
muster on all three counts.
Seven LMU teams competed in the
preliminary intramural round of the competition during the week of April
11-15. The top 3 teams advanced to the final round which was held on
Saturday, April 30 to determine which team will represent LMU at the
Intercollegiate Business Ethics Case Competition (IBECC) held September
21-22 in Bellevue, WA.
