The Institute is interested in research projects that: are
focused on the specific issues related to business ethics
and the day-to day challenges corporate leaders face;
contribute to the overall advancement of the field; and
address relevant issues of the day. The Advisory Council, in
consultation with the Academic Advisors, sets the annual
research agenda.
Research proposals must be submitted as fixed costs and the
selection of proposals to be
funded is at the sole discretion of the Advisory Council.
The
Institute does not pay indirect costs but will entertain any
legitimate research expense as part of the budget.
The Institute’s research project,
Mapping the Terrain,
identified key ethics issues of practical significance to
business leaders.
These findings form the basis of the Institute's
current research agenda:
Building/Sustaining Trust
Effective Company Management of Today’s
Investor Expectations
CEO / Executive Compensation
Ensuring the Integrity of Financial
Reporting
Ethical Role-Modeling
Establishing a Framework for Business
