Panel discusses corporate morality
By David Sadoff | February 17, 1994A finance professor, a business journalist, and two corporate executives debated whether corporations have a social responsibility to the public before more than 150 people in Cook Auditorium last night. "There is more to business than the petty jealousies, unbridled egos and ambition," said Richard Shreve, a professor at Amos Tuck School of Business Administration and moderator of the discussion. Sharon Cohen, Reebock's vice president of public affairs, said she believes it is corporate America's responsibility to look beyond profits and consider human rights. "At Reebok we're showing the world that going into business doesn't mean you have to check your values in at the door at 8 am and pick them up on the way out at 6," Cohen said.
