Are Business Ethics a Luxury Ukraine Cannot Afford? [Offline Breakfast Discussion]

Cynics often suggest that «business» and «ethics» do not go together. After the war, Ukraine will need to rebuild many sectors quite rapidly. It may be tempting to focus on «business» and hope that «ethics» will come later. Basic ethical conduct, however, is fundamental to rebuilding a cooperative and trusting economy that offers opportunities for the greatest number of people. Business ethics does not have to hinder or slow down business activity and can significantly enhance it.

We will discuss that theme with Philip M. Nichols, Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Philip M. Nichols is a Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on the institutions of international trade – primarily the World Trade Organization – and on the institutional changes occurring in emerging economies. Professor Nichols has also conducted substantial research on corruption. He also teaches courses on emerging economies and international business transactions. Professor Nichols also serves the University as the Faculty Director of College Houses and Academic Services and as the Faculty Master of Stouffer College House.

Outside of the University of Pennsylvania, Professor Nichols holds the co-chair position of the Law Group of UN/CEFACT and serves as co-chair of the International Economic Law Group of the American Society of International Law.
