About the Competition
Republished from Loyola Marymount University’s competition website at https://cba.lmu.edu/centers/ibes/eventsprograms/ibescc/historyandlegacy/.
The College of Business Administration at Loyola Marymount University is committed to a focus on ethics and ethical reasoning applied to business practices and business impact. As part of this commitment, the college initiated an annual business ethics case competition – a legacy program for LMU established by Professor Thomas White in 1996. With White’s retirement, IBESCC is now a program under LMU’s Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainability.
During the past 20+ years, the competition has become a recognized international program with student teams from multiple continents engaging in a wide array of business ethics issues. Over time, it has become increasingly clear that business, and ethical reasoning within business, must constructively engage the moral imperatives of sustainable development and the responsibility business has to be a force for good.
