On April 14 and 15, undergraduate business students from a four-state region took part in the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative’s fifth annual Consortium Case Competition. Ten student teams competed, representing business schools from universities in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.

The University of Colorado Denver Business School’s team earned third place. This is the second year that students from the University of Colorado Denver Business School have participated in the event.
Designed exclusively for business schools that are members of the Daniel’s Fund Ethics Consortium, the competition requires teams to provide the best solution to a thought-provoking business ethics issue. The competition is intended to challenge students’ ethical reasoning, improve decision-making and raise awareness of the importance of principle-based ethics.
This year’s Case Competition required participants to play the role of business ethics consultants. Teams assessed a fictional company facing an ethical dilemma, then presented recommendations to a panel of business professionals.
The panel of judges evaluated the students’ presentations based on established criteria, including the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Principles: integrity, trust, accountability, transparency, fairness, respect, rule of law, and viability.
