The Center serves as a forum for thought leadership around teaching and research on the ethics and governance challenges confronting current and next-generation business leaders. The Bernstein Faculty Leaders and the Student Leadership and Ethics Board shape the curriculum, organize speaker events, experiential learning activities, and other sessions in topics surrounding leadership, ethics, and governance.
The Individual, Business, and Society curriculum explores issues of individual leadership, personal integrity, corporate governance and social responsibility through case sessions held during Orientation, dedicated modules integrated into all core courses, and signature events held throughout the year.
The Center supports research on topics such as the financial crisis and its lessons, executive compensation and governance, gender and diversity in firms and boardrooms, inclusive growth and inequality, corporate social responsibility, leadership and power, and the role of business in politics.
Preeminent business leaders, practitioners and thought leaders share candid perspectives on leadership and ethics in keystone speaker series: The Botwinick Prize in Business Ethics, The KPMG Peat Marwick / Stanley R. Klion Forum and the Paul M. Montrone Series on Ethics, and in student-led events, interactive forums and workshops.
