\"Yale<\/a>MBA students from the Yale School of Management<\/strong> have organized a new kind of business school case competition which debuted on April 6th. The one-day only Integrated Leadership Case Competition<\/a> (ILCC) brought together student teams from top U.S. business schools to tackle a Yale SOM online \"raw\" case that addresses a business ethics issue.<\/p>\n

According to the school, Yale SOM pioneered a \u201craw\u201d format for case studies in 2006.\u00a0 Raw cases are web-based, open-ended, and multi-perspective presentations that can feature thousands of pages of relevant material that students must analyze, such as 10-Ks, analyst reports, news articles, stock charts, and interviews with key players---a format that reflects the way managers analyze information to make informed business decisions.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Yale SOM's integrated MBA curriculum and Leadership Development Program, the school explains that \"ILCC student teams must include members from different disciplines and\/or professional backgrounds, and student teams will be encouraged to draw on multiple disciplines and to consider different vantage points and multiple stakeholders when formulating their strategies.\"<\/p>\n

Teams made up of students from Yale SOM, the NYU Stern School of Business<\/strong>, the McDonough School of Business<\/strong> at Georgetown University, and the Wharton School<\/strong> of the University of Pennsylvania presented to a panel of judges including Yale faculty, sponsors, and corporate leaders.<\/p>\n

\"This competition encompasses many of the key components we love about Yale SOM: small group work, data-rich raw cases, and complex problems that require comprehensive, creative solutions,\" says Caitlin Sullivan<\/strong> '13, Yale SOM Student Government president. \"We're excited to showcase these elements with our colleagues from peer business schools.\"<\/p>\n

Thomas Kolditz<\/strong>, professor in the practice of leadership and director of Yale SOM's Leadership Development Program,\u00a0 served as a judge. \"This is not only a great event for practicing good analysis, it's a rich team leadership lab,\" Kolditz says. \"Participants will be given feedback on their leadership skills, teamwork, and performance. This competition will truly be integrated learning.\"<\/p>\n
