Saturday, August 14, 2004 : 2004 Ethics Kaffeeklatch Series

When: August 14, 2004 at 1:00 PM

What: DOES THE FOUR-WAY TEST APPLY IN CORPORATE AMERICA?

What are business ethics? Does one-size fit all? Are there universal moral principles that transcend particular religions, cultures, societies? Is it possible to pursue moral virtue and business success simultaneously? Compared to past centuries is business practice more ethical today? In seeking material gain, do people behave ethically when they do not fear being penalized for errant actions? Is it ever ethical to make a pre-emptive strike against a business competitor?

Where: Community Room

Farmers’ Market

Who: District 5280 Rotarians and their friends; everyone is invited and warmly welcomed.

How: Pick up a cup of tea, regular coffee or even a Café Latte or Cappuccino at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf shop in front of the Gilmore Gas Station then go up the stairs behind the Gas Station.

All ideas welcomed, all ideas explored and scrutinized.

Bring your lunch and/or libation to the Community Room and enjoy a relaxed and casual, but meaningful, significant, and searching discussion about ethics in business generally and corporate life in particular. Come share your own views. Hear what others think.
