More Information
Presentations and publications encompass research focusing on business ethics and ethical communication to the correlation of morale, productivity, and profit in an organization; organizational behavior; telecommunications and distance learning.
I believe this century has emulated and transcended the prior century with profound economic, social, political, and cultural changes. Redefining human and natural occurrences and emerging economic and health care issues, both domestic and international, easily support this belief. Concurrently, these occurrences provide insightful opportunities to engage students increasing their knowledge, skills and ethical consciousness. My goal as a business professor is to facilitate an environment for critical
thinking providing a forum for students to address the issues of today and prepare for tomorrow as they decide how they will make a living and how they will live ethically.
