Patrick
Murphy, professor of marketing and C.R. Smith II Co-Director of the Institute
for Ethical Business Worldwide at the University of Notre Dame, is among a dozen
leading scholars nationwide appointed to the core faculty of the Institute for
Corporate Ethics.
Newly established by the Business Roundtable
and housed at the University of Virginia, the institute will conduct research,
create a cutting-edge business ethics curriculum, lead executive seminars on business
ethics, and develop best practices in the area of corporate and business ethics. Murphy
and other faculty will advise and assist the institute in several ways, including
the development and teaching of executive programs in ethics, analysis of current
ethical issues of concern to corporate leaders, the proposal and review of research
topics, and participation in conferences and other institute events. Among other
institutions represented on the faculty are the Harvard Business School, the University
of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and Northwestern University's Kellogg School
of Management. A member of the Notre Dame faculty since 1984,
Murphy recently was appointed to a three-year fellowship with the Ethics Resource
Center in Washington, D.C. He specializes in studying how ethics influence marketing
decision-making, is the author of a book titled "Eighty Exemplary Ethics
Statements," and coauthor of the forthcoming book "Ethical Marketing." The
Business Roundtable is a nationwide association of chief executive officers of
leading corporations. An advisory council composed of Business Roundtable members—including
Steve Odland, a Notre Dame graduate and chair, president and CEO of AutoZone—will
oversee activities of the institute.
