Background
DeSales University has hosted the Fleming Institute Business Ethics Bowl Competitions since 2010 with undergraduate and graduate students participating among distinguished teams from Lehigh Valley institutions. In 2010 and 2011, Muhlenberg College teams were recognized as the Grand Champions; and in 2012, the DeSales University team was recognized as Grand Champion.
According to founder, Richard Fleming, the Institute hopes to create a meaningful dialogue between academia and business by fostering the study of both principles and practical case histories by students who will be our business leaders of tomorrow. These competitions help build an awareness of ethical behavior in the business world leading graduates toward resolving future ethical problems that unfold for them.
Criteria
Two to five students comprise an ethics bowl team and team advisors are responsible for submitting the team applications by a specified date. The business ethics cases are sent to team advisors shortly after receipt of the team registration. Team Registration Link: --------
