In DECA competitions, how can members showcase their understanding of business ethics?

Members can showcase their understanding of business ethics through case studies and ethical dilemmas by analyzing real-world scenarios that require them to apply ethical principles and frameworks. Case studies often present situations where ethical considerations are crucial, allowing participants to engage in critical thinking and discuss possible outcomes based on their moral reasoning. This method not only tests their knowledge of ethical concepts but also helps them develop skills in identifying ethical issues, weighing various options, and making informed decisions.

In contrast to the other options, drafting marketing plans primarily focuses on strategic and operational aspects of business rather than ethical considerations. Peer-to-peer learning emphasizes collaboration and knowledge sharing, which is valuable but does not explicitly highlight ethical understanding. Following trend analysis centers on market data interpretation and does not typically address ethics directly. Thus, case studies and ethical dilemmas are uniquely positioned to provide a platform for showcasing a member's grasp of business ethics within a practical context.
