SEEKING PARTNERS

SEEKING ACADEMIC AND CORPORATE PARTNERS TO HELP US DEVELOP THE NEXT GENERATION OF BUSINESS LEADERS

The International Business Ethics Case Competition is the nation’s oldest and most distinguished event of its kind. Designed with the assistance of Fortune 500 senior executives, IBECC was founded in 1996 by Thomas I. White, Ph.D., the first permanent Conrad N. Hilton Chair in Business Ethics and Director of the Center for Ethics and Business at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. IBECC helps students develop critical skills in ethical analysis which they will then bring to the organizations they join after graduation. The competition is judged predominantly by seasoned executives.

Through 2018, Loyola Marymount was our major partner, but the university decided to leave IBECC and launch its own campus-based competition focusing on sustainable development. In 2019, IBECC became an independent 501(c)(3) organization. Throughout its 26 year history, IBECC has been guided by the same core group of senior scholars and business executives.

Because of Covid, the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 competitions were held online. In 2024, we returned to an in-person competition at the Mount Ida Campus of the University of Massachusetts.

As we prepare for our next competition, we are open to adding to our roster of partners. If you would like to join us and help ensure that the next generation of business leaders will have the ethical expertise needed to face the coming challenges, please contact us. We welcome the opportunity to discuss sponsorship options with interested schools and corporations.
