Smeal College Management Professor Named To AACSB Ethics Initiative
UNIVERSITY PARK, PA -- Linda Klebe Treviño, Franklin H. Cook Fellow in Business Ethics at Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, has been named to the new Ethics Education Task Force for the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Charged with identifying potential enhancements for business education and with reviewing accreditation standards for ethics education in business, the task force will ultimately produce a resource document providing guidance to AACSB accreditation teams on the design, delivery, and evaluation of business ethics education, with specific focus on areas such as goals of business ethics education; core ethics content for bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degree programs; and recommended links to major resource centers capable of supporting business ethics education. December 2002 is the target date for completion.
The task force, which continues the 2002-2003 work of the New Issues Committee on Ethics Educations, includes 19 members from business and academia and is being led by Susan Phillips, Dean of the George Washington University’s School of Business and Public Management.
Treviño, who also directs the Smeal College’s Shoemaker Program in Business Ethics, has expertise in the areas of the management of ethical conduct in organizations; the management of organizational climate and culture to support and encourage ethical behavior; and organizations’ varied approaches to ethics management. She co-authored the textbook “Managing Business Ethics; Straight Talk About How to Do it Right,” which is being used to teach undergraduates, MBAs, and executives, and is in its third edition. Another book, “Managing Ethics in Business Organizations; Social Scientific Perspectives,” was recently published by Stanford University Press.
Frequently quoted in the media on ethics-related issues, Treviño is a member of the editorial review boards of Business Ethics Quarterly , Academy of Management Review , and Academy of Management Journal .
