The 2024 Daniels Fund National Case Competition will take place on April 18-19, 2024 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort. Leeds is bringing both an undergrad and graduate team to compete against other business schools in the Rocky Mountain Consortium. The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program Case Competition exposes students to a thought-provoking business ethics case similar to a situation that they might face in their professional careers.

Negotiations can be a contentious and competitive process, encouraging individuals to stray from their values temporarily to achieve desired outcomes. The Daniels Fund helps professionals make principled decisions even when pressure is high to cut corners.This workshop will be presented by guest speaker, McKenzie Rees, from Brigham Young University on Friday, April 5th from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.

Her research argues that a first step in successfully doing the right thing when negotiating is being able to recognize aspects of situations that motivate self-interested, unethical, and values-inconsistent behaviors. She will share about tactics that negotiators can use to ensure that their behavior aligns with their core values and strategies for elevating others' perception that one is negotiating ethically. We will workshop some of her tactics and strategies to begin practicing them for ourselves.

Please sign up  by April 2nd to attend on April 5th from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.
