INTRODUCING NEW SCHOLAR RESEARCH SEMINAR SERIES

Business Researcher Scott J. Reynolds presented this fall on business ethics as part of the new Dr. Bill Stratton Distinguished Scholar Research Seminar Series.

Reynolds is a professor of business ethics, chair of the Department of Management and Organization, and the Michael G. Foster Endowed Professor at the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington. His research focuses on ethical decision-making, which has been published in numerous top management and business ethics journals and won several awards. Reynolds’ presentation focused on the concept of a team’s moral identity.

“Good ethical behavior is the foundation for strong relationships, and every business relies on relationships to accomplish their objectives,” Reynolds said. “Thus, stronger relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and every other critical stakeholder makes it much more likely that the business will succeed.”

Reynolds was the first presenter in the Dr. Bill Stratton Distinguished Scholar Research Seminar Series, named after former College of Business Dean Dr. Bill Stratton. This series plans to provide our University and community with a variety of insights, networking and research collaboration opportunities within the business world.

“Dr. Stratton has been a great mentor to me and his years of outstanding service as Dean and decades as a great management professor have made every part of our College and community better,” said Dr. Shane Hunt, College of Business Dean.
