The W. Michael Hoffman Center for Business Ethics sees great opportunities in collaborative efforts to promote ethical business practices, and to this end, provides to its visitors and the public a rich collection of resources.
What should every student know about business ethics? The HCBE Advisory Board has the answer.
How can organizations create and sustain ethical cultures? The Advisory Board's answer can be found in a book, now available on Amazon.
The HCBE hosted some of the first conferences on business ethics in the world in the 1970's and 1980's. You can see what was discussed by viewing the proceedings from these conferences. Our faculty fellows publish in leading journals in their fields, and we also collaborate on the occasional white paper, which be found on the Bentley library website.
In the early days of the field, scholars associated with HCBE produced a number of path-breaking books, including The Ethical Edge (1995), Values Added (1997), and Ethics Matters (2000). Together with Mark Schwartz, W. Michael Hoffman and Robert Frederick collaborated on a textbook, Business Ethics: Readings and Cases in Corporate Morality, now in its 5th edition.
Ethics Buzz is a newsletter prepared by Bentley students once per semester, highlighting what's going on in the world of business ethics, and sharing news about the HCBE's events and programs.
