Dealing with Conflict of Interest in Troubled Economic Times

We need look no further than the morning paper to see charges or allegations of conflict of interest involving high-profile people and organizations. However, the fact of the matter is that in the business world, situations arise almost every day where there exists the potential for conflict. How best to handle them?

In this audio conference, our speakers will help the audience understand and adjust to changing standards regarding ethical business behavior and potential conflicts of interest. The presentation will discuss both the visible and less-than-visible types of conflicts of interest that business people confront in their roles as executives, directors, advocates and advisors. Using examples torn from recent headlines, the speakers will illustrate methods of coping with those conflicts, and explain the importance of developing a personal and professional code of ethics. They will also discuss some recent and ongoing academic research on governance and ethics, and explore both domestic and international efforts to cope with conflicts.

Dealing with Conflict of Interest in Troubled Economic Times is being presented by Michael Martorelli & Patricia Connolly, Director, Fairmount Partners & Managing Director, LeBow College of Business and airs on Thursday, March 5th, 2009.

Medical companies are increasingly sponsoring global research projects – but is this research effective? How can cultural and linguistic differences be managed to ensure the integrity of the result?

In this Webinar we will provide understanding of these issues and tools for managing global research projects.
