Good Business: The Dialogue Between the Spirit and the Letter of Business Ethics

Corporate scandals have fostered new interest in business ethics. What are the big issues? Should businesses have ethical commitments beyond complying with the law? Why are ethics strategically relevant? How do good ethics affect financial results, and does that matter? Can good ethics energize changes in businesses and how they relate to their stakeholders? Our panel will explore these issues and lead our discussion.

Professor Robert W. Fogel, 1993 Nobel Laureate in Economic Science; Charles R. Walgreen Distinguished Service Professor of American Institutions, University of Chicago GSB.
