Ethics Research

The director and others affiliated with the Initiative are engaged in on-going scholarship relevant to ethics in business. Currently the KBEI is collaborating on a joint research project on social capital with Jerry Davis at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business, as well as on developing a "Trustworthiness" survey for major companies, among other projects.
