National Ethical Leadership Case Competition
Students from universities across the country gather to compete in the annual Ted Rogers Ethical Leadership Case Competition. This is Canada鈥檚 largest undergraduate business ethics case competition.
鈥淐ase competitions are wonderful opportunities for students to show that they can apply their classroom learning to propose concrete, practical solutions to realistic business scenarios,鈥� said Chris MacDonald, director of TRSM鈥檚 Ted Rogers Leadership Centre. 鈥淭his ethical leadership competition gives students the chance to demonstrate their understanding of leadership, and what leadership means in the context of socially-aware business.鈥�
The competition is by invitation only. Eight teams of four students are given a business case study and have one week to examine what the ethical issues facing the company are and develop a solid action plan for the executives involved.
The Ted Rogers Leadership Centre is grateful to AtkinsR茅alis for its sponsorship of the competition. AtkinsR茅alis is a global professional services and project management company.
