"Ethics in International Business: Utopian Illusion or an Idea Whose Time
Has Come?"
ANDY WICKS, Associate Professor of Business Ethics

Come and hear Professor Andy Wicks explore "business ethic's" role in the
global economy. His discussion will highlight a range of prominent and
vexing ethical issues in international business, such as: bribery,
sweatshops and child labor, the sale of banned pesticides in LDC's,
environmental protection, genetic technology, and how business ethics might
help us work through these issues.
