Can investing in front-line factory workers actually improve your bottom line? The Pioneer Employer Case Competition focuses on the story of Al Fuller, the co-founder of Integrated Packaging Corporation (IPC), who dramatically improved the standard-of-living for his employees while also turning his company’s fortunes around. The competition challenges teams to analyze and propose solutions for IPC, and gives finalists the opportunity to present their analysis to Mr. Fuller himself at the 2010 Net Impact Conference. In addition to the case analysis, the competition will require students to work with MBA faculty and administrators to integrate cases involving improved standards for workers into their MBA program. $10,000 in cash prizes! The Intent to Compete form is due February 16, 2010.
