Naples:"Ethics in Business" Monday, May 8th
The panel program will help define business ethics as the set of moral rules that govern how businesses operate, how business decisions are made and how people are treated. In business, there are many different people you have to answer to: customers, shareholders, and clients. Determining what to do when an ethical dilemma arises among these different interests can be extremely tricky, and as such, business ethics are complex and multi-faceted. Come meet our panelists and learn how they operate.
