Do companies have implied social contracts with the states and societies in which they operate? How would we define universal values that can be applied when working in a global context? Prof. Patrick O’Sullivan from the Grenoble Ecole de Management gave a talk on Business Ethics at Goethe Business School on Dec 3 and engaged the audience in a lively discussion about different levels he perceives in the discourse about ethical behavior in the business world.
The talk was part of the Broaden Your Horizon series in which Goethe Business School offers its students, alumni and friends the opportunity to learn about a wide variety of topics, also beyond the areas of business and finance.

Stories ranged from the latest updates in everybody’s personal and professional lives to sharing memories from the times as active GBS degree students.
