Is it possible to stay ethical in the business world?

Posted by on May 13, 2011 under Events | Be the First to Comment

Dr. Laura J Spence thinks so, and she will be giving a talk on Wednesday May 18th, 2011 at 6PM in the Management Auditorium about how her work on small and medium sized organizations was influenced by the research into ethics of Psychology Professor Carol Gilligan at Harvard University. Interviewed by Edith Hall as part of the ongoing Women in Research Lecture Series at Royal Holloway, this is a great opportunity to explore themes of ethics, inspiration and how research in fields such as psychology can help explain corporate culture. Plus there is a free reception afterwards to mingle and discuss these issues in greater detail.

Register in advance by emailing celia.mulderrig@rhul.ac.uk or on the evening from 5:40 PM.
