Workshop on business ethics called a first in Hawai‘i
A workshop on good governance and business ethics, “Corruption and Good Corporate Governance: Where’s the Bottom Line?” will be presented from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Monday, April 7, at the William S. Richardson School of Law, Moot Court Room, 2515 Dole St., Honolulu, ground floor, Ewa side.
This interactive workshop is focused on developing a deeper understanding of two critical issues at the very forefront of current business discussions:
- Why are good corporate governance and rising business ethics standards important?
- How do business leaders implement, develop and teach governance and ethical programs within their organizations?
Organized by the Institute for Asia-Pacific Business Law, CIBER, ThinkTech Hawai‘i and the Hawai‘i Venture Capital Association, this is the first-ever workshop of this kind in Hawai‘i. Participants will:
- Get an inside view and hands-on exposure to cutting-edge techniques and materials to develop business ethics and employee “buy-in”
- Observe a live demonstration of practical, successful techniques to overcome unethical and/or corrupt business challenges especially in the international business environment; and
- Acquire a better understanding of the positive interplay of strong governance business conduct codes and training and an organization’s bottom line economic performance.
Presenters are Barbara Fredericks, assistant general counsel for the U.S. Department of Commerce, Shirley J. Daniel, professor at the UH Shidler College of Business, and attorney David F. Day, an international law practitioner. For more information and to register, contact Charles Booth, cbooth@hawaii.edu.
