Dr. Melissa Baucus “The proposed redesign of MGMT 310 … represents a shift from minimal and indirect coverage of ethics, to a course centering on ethical decision-making and ethical issues commonly encountered by today’s managers.” MGMT 311: Teamwork & Team Building
Dr. Nancy Bertaux “… I would like to ensure that each of the short cases I use to illustrate the various areas within HR (compensation, recruiting and selection, training development, employee relations and EEO/diversity management) have explicit ethical issues addressed in them. Some will require modifying cases I now use, some will require finding or writing new cases.”“… I would like to ensure that each of the short cases I use to illustrate the various areas within HR (compensation, recruiting and selection, training development, employee relations and EEO/diversity management) have explicit ethical issues addressed in them.

Dr. Daewoo Park “Linking strategy with ethics’ has been one of the main topics in the BUAD 904 course learning experiences. What I have discussed is: ‘Strategy ought to be ethical. It should involve rightful actions, not wrongful ones; otherwise it won’t pass the test of moral scrutiny. This means more than conforming to what is legal. Ethical and moral standards go beyond the prohibitions of law and the language of ‘thou shalt not’, to issues of duty and the language of ‘should do and should not do.’ Also, I have emphasized: ‘Every business has an ethical duty to each of the five constituencies : owner/shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, and the community at large. Each of these constituencies affects the organization and is affected by it.”

Dr. Jamal Rashed “ECON 300, International Business and Economic Environment is a core course in the Williams College of Business … (and) topics include why businesses choose to go global, and the managerial implications of decisions. Country differences give rise to some important and contentious ethical issues. While planning to incorporate ethics into this course, I plan to focus on three important issues: (1) the ethics of doing business in nations that violate human rights, (2) the ethics of doing business in countries with lax labor and environmental regulations, and (3) the ethics of corruption.” ECON 300: International Trade & Business Environment
Dr. John Surdick and Dr. Dennis O’Reilly “The proposed ethics innovation is a case study that would be applicable for a graduate level financial accounting course, an upper-division undergraduate course, and an upper-division undergraduate accounting course. The case scenario would concern the evaluation of a nonprofit organizations for the purpose of determining whether or not to continue future funding of the organization. The nonprofit organizations in this case study is a microlender. Microlenders make small loans to low income, high-risk individuals who are attempting to start a small business. These entrepreneurs usually do not qualify for loans from regular credit sources such as banks, savings and loans, and finance companies. Microlenders are able to provide these small loans because they receive funding from direct grants and below-market rate loans. Continued funding is contingent on an annual evaluation of the microlender’s performance.”
