Abstract
This PDW is all about “The Questions We Ask?” In fact, it is also about “The Questions We Should Ask!” With the fairly recent and highly publicized breaches of ethics among members of the business community, there is a need to re-examine specific strategies employed in all kinds of organizations. Many business faculty are comfortable teaching ethics in the classroom, but are we (as scholars and educators) appropriately challenging our own ethical practices? Ethics in publishing is one of the areas that many disciplines have recently been addressing. This workshop will provide faculty, administrators, and doctoral students the forum to listen to panelists (book/journal editors) and then discuss current issues and challenges related to ethical decision-making and behavior of researchers and scholars. It will also provide the attendees the opportunity to challenge behaviors and practices commonly seen and held. This ethics event will be divided into three segments. First, facilitators will briefly highlight reasons for their interest in organizing this session and then introduce the five panelists. Each panelists will then take five minutes to outline and discuss some of the current issues and trends related to ethics in publishing. Second, participants will be asked to meet in small groups to discuss the issues that surfaced from the presentations. Groups will be encouraged to identify their top three issues or questions to ask to the panelists. Finally, the remaining time will be devoted to a highly interactive Q&A session with engaging dialogue between panelists and attendees.
