The Business Ethics Alliance (businessethicsalliance.org) invites business leaders and professionals to the Fall Mind Candy Dialogue, a signature event fostering engaging discussions on contemporary business ethics. The event will take place on Thursday, October 24, from 11:15 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Scott Conference Center, located at 6450 Pine St.
Event Topic: “Past Ethical Issues, Present Ethical Perceptions”
Topic Description: Sometimes, past unethical decisions and missteps shake the public’s trust in an organization that those mistakes won’t be repeated. The bigger and more public the ethical misstep, the more likely a negative perception will play a role in developing and/or maintaining future business relationships with the organization. How can we trust that an organization is authentically ethical in its changes rather than putting up a front to get back to business as usual?
Join Dr. AnnMarie Marlier, Executive Director of the Business Ethics Alliance, and Erin Owen, President of Clarity Channels Communication, as they facilitate a lively discussion using ethical decision-making case studies.
