Marketing Roundtable: Using Ethics as a Competitive Advantage
February 17, 2012 | 7:30-9 a.m.
At our next event you will learn about how we define “competitive ethics” and how you can support and nurture good business activities and behavior in your leadership role. Engage fully in the reality of balancing the pressure of results with a company’s ethical standards and understand the sources of this pressure on executives and reporting managers. Ultimately, doing “good business” means succeeding in corporate ethics, social responsibility, and sustainability in the context of effective business strategy. If you are already committed to ethical practice, let’s talk about leveraging that differentiation to optimize personal and business success.
Cost: Members free, nonmember $50; faculty/staff/students $25

Sustainability, Ethics and Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference
April 12, 2012 - April 13, 2012 | 6 p.m. April 12 to 8 p.m. April 13
The Sustainability, Ethics and Entrepreneurship (SEE) Conference
Dates: Thursday-Friday, April 12-13, 2012
Location: University of Denver, Denver CO
Registration: FREE
Keynote Speakers: Sankaran Venkataraman, MasterCard Professor of Business Administration; Research Director, The Batten Institute, Darden School of Business, University of Virginia Jay Barney, Chase Chair for Excellence in Corporate Strategy and Professor of Management & Human Resources; Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University Tom Dean, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Enterprise, Colorado State University Jim O'Toole, Daniels Distinguished Chair of Business Ethics, University of DenverBuilding on the vibrant cohort of scholars in ethics, entrepreneurship, and sustainability, the SEE Conference will enable local, national, and international researchers to drive the development of these increasingly important and rapidly changing areas of study.
Sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship draw on knowledge from diverse, but converging streams of research. These include but are not limited to studies on sustainability, social entrepreneurship, business ethics, firm-community ties, and environment impacts, to name a few. The fact that ethics and sustainability are intertwined with the concept of entrepreneurship is no longer new. Indeed, many argue that ethical choices are a fundamental aspect of any business activity, and critical to sustained success of startups, small firms, medium enterprises, and large, multinational corporations.
Some even suggest that the focus on sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship triangulates every economic opportunity. The goal of the conference is to advance knowledge about SEE-related topics.
We invite participants to submit abstracts (2-3 page) that address a broad array of subjects on the topics of sustainability, ethics, and entrepreneurship (SEE). These abstracts will be reviewed by our Advisory Board. For potential topics, see our website. Participants of the SEE conference can expect to:
* Share cutting-edge research, ideas and theories.
* Foster collaborative research efforts.
* Build a worldwide network of scholars who advance the state of knowledge about SEE.There is no registration fee, but participants commit to attend the entire event, Ph.D. students and early-stage Assistant Professors are eligible for some financial support (i.e., some travel and hotel accommodations) from the Kaufman Foundation.
The conference will start with a reception, dinner, and keynote speaker (Venkat) on Thursday, April 12. On Friday, April 13, there will be a full day of presentations, and three keynote speakers (breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks will be provided). The conference will end with a dinner and a keynote speaker (Jay Barney).
