L-R Rachel Whiteside, Sara Guckenbiehl, Jenny Rose, and Lisa McMinn are winners of the Darkside Case Competition

Sara Guckenbiehl, Lisa McMinn, Jenny Rose, and Rachel Whiteside are the Darkside Case Competition winners. This year’s case was entitled "The Great Resignation". Competition judges noted that, as a team, the winners "did a great job of presenting captivating content and creating a compelling argument around the future for work." Additionally, the winners of "The Darkside Jug" made an entertaining challenge to our collective understanding of gender, gender bias and politics. Cases from the darkside of business include the adverse effect on workers in poorly managed organizations, assaults on the environment and the vulnerable, as well as the questionable ethical behaviour of corporate executives. Judges for the competition were Viki Matthews of Just Us, and Brittany Mastroianni, of Kings Municipality. The competition is organized by Dr. Jim Grant and Dr. Danielle Mercer.
