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.
HCBE has an extensive multimedia library that contains one of the largest collections in the United States of business ethics books, journals, videos, and resources for practitioners. Our collection of books includes the hard-to-find proceedings of HCBE’s original conferences on business ethics from the 1970’s and 1980’s, which were some of the first conferences on business ethics in the world.
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.
