3 Hours of Ethics CE credits approved by the WAOIC
Marc Cohen will start his presentation with an overview of approaches to business ethics which will
include an experiment in behavioral economics. This effort will assist participants to help think
about the place of ethical commitments in economic activity. The point being, economics is not a-moral space.
Later in the session, Cohen will perform a second experiment in behavioral economics.
This experiment is designed to test intuitions about cooperation, treading cautiously to not call it a
cooperation game, or public goods game, because the names can affect how people act.
Cohen will spend a considerable amount of time discussing and showing how the implications of the second
experiment impact for organizational design.
