Teams
The Dalhousie Ethics in Action case competition is based on written case studies and has two distinct streams: one for undergraduate students and one for graduate students. All teams will be given the opportunity to present both a prepared and a live case. Teams will be made up of four students.
**Please note: Registration in the case competition is limited to one team per program per stream (example: a school may enter a BBA team, a BComm team and an MBA team). Teams will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.**
Cases
Prepared cases are released 10 days prior to the competition.
Unprepared cases start on Saturday morning at 8:00 am. Each team is given a three-hour isolation period to respond to a fictional ethical dilemma. Undergraduate teams enter isolation at 20-minute intervals and are given 12 minutes to present, followed by a three-minute question period. Graduate teams enter isolation at 30-minute intervals and are given 15 minutes to present, followed by a five-minute question period.
Case presentations on Friday run from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm for undergraduate teams, and 9:30 am to 12:00 pm for graduate teams. Case presentations on Saturday are from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm for undergraduate teams, and 12:30 to 3:00 pm for graduate teams.
