DeGroote students win first place in Ted Rogers Ethical Leadership Competition – Daily News

A team of DeGroote School of Business undergraduate students won first place, and the $4,000 grand prize, in the fourth annual Ted Rogers Ethical Leadership Case Competition this past weekend.

Only eight teams from across Canada were invited to participate: HEC Montréal, McGill University, McMaster University, Ryerson University, University of Calgary, University of Manitoba and York University.

The case for the competition featured a company that was contracted to install a water purification system for a First Nations community and discovered a defect in the system. The company had an operational issue to resolve or they would lose the whole contract.
