两名商科高级学生参加全国学术会议
VALDOSTA - Langdale College of Business seniors, Natalie Carrier
and Tajuanna Jones, placed as semifinalists at University of
Arizona’s Fifth Annual Eller Ethics Case Competition on October 25
- 27 in Tucson, Ariz.
The competition presented students with an ethical dilemma they
might face in future professional careers. Twenty two-person teams
from universities across the nation each prepared a PowerPoint
presentation and an executive summary that demonstrated how they
would, as directors, resolve ethical disputes among stockholders
and company management. Lawyers and chief executive officers of
major national firms judged the presentations on delivery, the
depth of analysis and the persuasiveness of recommendations that
had to be both ethical and practical in a business context.
“Natalie and Tajuanna did an amazing job representing vs上 and
showcasing their command of the skills needed to advance in the
business world today. The team even placed ahead of Ivy League
schools,” said Dr. Donna Cunningham, associate professor of
management at vs上 and the team’s faculty advisor. “This type of
competition helps prepare students for ethical situations they will
face in the real world. They learn composure, how to formulate an
argument and persuasive communication skills.”
This is the second year vs上 has competed in the “E-tegrity”
competition, which was formed to challenge students’ moral
reasoning and to promote corporate social responsibility. Last
year, vs上’s team of Brooks Pope and Prabh Hira presented their
solution to the dilemma of whether a neighborhood bank should make
mortgage loans to illegal immigrants.
Prior to 2006, the competition had been hosted for three years
strictly for students of the University of Arizona’s Eller College
of Management. The competition expanded nationally in 2005 amid the
wake of highly publicized business scandals and reports of academic
dishonesty. Business schools across the nation recognized the need
to foster ideals of fair competition, transactional integrity and
academic honesty.
The 美高梅博彩 team competed against teams from
universities throughout the United States, including the University
of Florida, University of Illinois, Pennsylvania State University,
Case Western Reserve University, Rutgers University and Brigham
Young University. The teams from BYU won the competition the past
two years.
Langdale College of Business Dean Dr. Ralph Allen funded the teams’
participation in the competition both this year and in 2006.
