Business Ethics Pioneers
Since the early 1970s, pioneers in the field of business ethics, both academic and corporate, have been stretching the mind and conscience with challenging questions and relentless self-examination. To preserve the history and wisdom of these founders, as well as the founders of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, we have created The Pioneers in Business Ethics Oral Video History Archive Project. This collection features focused stories on the evolution of Business Ethics, its founding thinkers and practitioners, and the ideas, concepts, and best practices that have emerged. Interviews with over fifty pioneers via video as well as their transcripts are now housed in the archives at the University of Illinois. Each of these interviews is approximately 40-60 minutes.
In addition to viewing the entire video, an editing team has assembled each pioneer interview into eight minute segments that can easily be shown in a variety of classes. Each pioneer generally explains how they entered the field of business ethics, successes they had in classrooms, in publications and in service. These videos can be found here.
The focused videos as well as full transcripts and raw video footage will be available through the University of Illinois Library Archives and Gies College of Business Center for Professional Responsibility in Business and Society at the University of Illinois. All videos are free and open to the public. We encourage the dissemination of these videos in a variety of settings from the classroom to the boardroom.
This project is designed and organized by a team including Joan Elise Dubinsky, former United Nations Ethics Officer and Fellow of the Center for Professional Responsibility in Business and Society; Elaine E. Englehardt, the Distinguished Professor of Ethics at Utah Valley University; Patricia Werhane, Professor Emerita at the University of Virginia and DePaul University and Emmy-award winning documentary producer; and Gretchen A. Winter, Clinical Assistant Professor of Business Administration and former Executive Director of the Center for Professional Responsibility in Business and Society at the University of Illinois Gies College of Business. Short videos of many of the pioneers have been edited and produced for use in the classroom and in company training sessions with the help of Professor Englehardt’s students at Utah Valley University and the University of Illinois editing team.
