Can investing in front-line factory workers actually improve your bottom line? The Net Impact Annual 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.

Congratulations to the Full-time UST MBA Net Impact case competition team for being selected as one of five national finalists in the competition. The team will present at the national finals to be held at the Net Impact national conference at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business next October.

The competition challenges teams to analyze and propose solutions for IPC, and gives finalists the opportunity to present their analysis to Mr. Fuller himself. In addition to the case analysis, the competition requires students to work with MBA faculty and administrations to incorporate cases on pioneering employers into their MBA program.
