1st Place: Bhargav Srinivasan and Kelly Rytlewski, University of Texas at Austin

Bhargav Srinivasan and Kelley Rytlewski, students representing the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin, took top honors at the ninth annual Collegiate Ethics Case Competition, hosted by the University of Arizona Eller College of Management October 25-27, 2012. Northern Illinois University, United States Naval Academy, and Brigham Young University took second, third, and fourth place, respectively.

The annual competition challenges students from universities around the country to analyze a timely ethical case with real-world business application. The 2011 case, developed by EthicsPoint Distinguished Lecturer Paul Melendez and senior lecturer in management Suzanne Cummins, asked the students to assume the identity of a risk mitigation team of a local bank and respond to a family considering a strategic default on their mortgage.

The students presented their analysis and recommendations to a panel of judges in two rounds. The judges rated team performances on delivery, depth of analysis, persuasiveness, recommendations, and responses to questions, then advanced four teams to the final round. The Collegiate Ethics Case Competition at the Eller College of Management is sponsored by Walgreens, EthicsPoint, Ernst & Young, Bank of America, Northwestern Mutual, Hewlett Packard, and Target.
