Four Master of Business Administration students recently traveled to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, to compete in the second Faith and Belief at Work MBA Case Competition. During the 36-hour event, 16 premier business schools engaged in networking and crafted real-world business strategies. The competition highlighted the importance of incorporating diverse faith and belief systems in a workforce for optimal business outcomes.

Competing for Kansas State University were Morgan Stone, Katherine Krauss, Zoe Flowers and AJ Lenartowicz. The team was accompanied by Marne Arthaud-Day, management associate professor. While the team did not finish in the top three, they were praised by judges for their contextual research and professional slide deck.

"For the past year plus, we have met almost every Friday morning to work on the art of case analysis and presentation skills," said Arthaud-Day. "I am extremely proud of how hard our students have worked and how much they have learned through this experience."

This is the first year K-State has competed in the Faith and Belief at Work MBA Case Competition. Other schools competing included Columbia Business School, Columbia University; Tepper School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University; Kelley School of Business, Indiana University; Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame; Marriott School of Business, Brigham Young University; and Mays Business School, Texas A&M University.
