VEM PROGRAM


MISSION
    The purpose of the Program on Values and Ethics in the Marketplace (VEM) is to teach students about the crucial ethical and practical issues relevant to today's marketplace. VEM supports the premise that ethics is important and that one's values influence one's views on specific problems such as: employer-employee relations, corporate restructuring, and stakeholder versus shareholder theories of a corporation. VEM helps students see the bridge between ethical theory and the practice of management, between the classroom and the "real world" of industry.

    VEM also focuses on course development, special conferences and seminars, graduate fellows, and a variety of undergraduate projects.
