HOW DOES IT WORK?

Fifteen to twenty teams, consisting of 3-4 participants each, are required to write a detailed report based on a case addressing ethical dilemmas in the workplace. All teams will have one week to submit the report, which will then be evaluated by a panel of five judges. Of the fifteen to twenty reports which will be submitted, each judge will be randomly assigned to evaluate three to five reports. Each of the five judges will then select one team out of three/five to qualify for the next round and stand before the entire panel for the final presentations. At the presentation round, a winning team will be declared by equally compiling the scores of all five judges. At every round, all reports and presentations will be graded using a standardized and unbiased evaluation rubric.
