The DBECC is a student-run competition supported by the School of Business Administration. In the competition, each team is given four weeks to prepare a 20 minute presentation on the issue at hand, upon which they are to present their findings to a panel of judges composed of ethics professors and executives from across Canada. The judges evaluate the teams and decide on three best presentations. Six out of ten teams are chosen to advance and are given an additional case in which they have four hours to evaluate and present their findings. The competition is held November 17-19, and is welcoming teams from across Canada and the United States. This year DBECC Teams are coming from: Queens University (Kingston), John Molson School of Business (Concordia University, Montréal), Boston College (Boston, Massachusetts), Wilfred Laurier University (Waterloo, Ontario), Trent University (Peterborough, Ontario), Memorial University (St. John’s, Newfoundland), Richard Ivey School of Business (London, Ontario), HEC (Hautes Etudes Commerciales) (Universite Quebec a Montreal, Montreal Quebec), University of Alberta (Edmonton, Alberta) and Dalhousie University. Following the competition a dinner hosted by DBECC will be held, Friday night, 7-9pm, at Murphy’s on the Water. Speaking at the dinner will be Patrick Kuhse. Mr. Kuhse utilizes his 20+ years of experience as a financial planner, stockbroker, entrepreneur, international fugitive and federal inmate to uniquely translate common critical thinking errors into our everyday personal and professional ethical challenges and dilemmas. He takes his audiences with him as he describes his descent down the "slippery slope" of unethical behavior, his critical thinking errors, his gradual lapse into unprofessional ethics and the "greed is good" philosophy he encountered. About Dalhousie: Dalhousie is a comprehensive, research-intensive university with more than 15,500 students. In The Scientist magazine, it was recently named one of the best non-commercial places to work as a scientific researcher outside the United States. Media inquiries, contact:
