2022 DECA Business Ethics Symposium and Case Competition

The Institute for Business and Professional Ethics is pleased to co-host our annual Business Ethics Case Competition with the student organization DECA on Friday, March 11, 2022.

• This competition is open to all students across the university (undergrad and graduate).
• The event will include a business ethics workshop, case competition and awards ceremony. You will receive a workshop lecture that provides you with key business ethics concepts and presentation skills
• Students will be placed into teams of two (or can sign up in pairs) and present a solution to a hypothetical business ethics issue to business professionals serving as judges. You will be given a case and a half hour to create a solution to the case along with your presentation. You and your teammate will receive 12 minutes to present the case and answer judge's questions.
• No prior business ethics knowledge or DECA experience is required to participate.
• It is dependent on the number of attendees, but we have traditionally had three competition group categories: Freshman/Sophomore, Junior/Senior and Graduate.
• The winning team in each category will each receive a $100 prize (per individual).
• This year's competition will take place in person, but attendees must follow all DePaul University masking and vaccine requirements.
