The relationship between resource dependency and business deception will be discussed by Paul Dunn, Professor of Organizational Behaviour, Human Resources Management, Entrepreneurship and Ethics, during the next Goodman Luncheon Speaker Series on Friday, Feb. 2.

The presentation will explore the ethical implications which arise from deceptive business practices, whereby stakeholder’s desires are falsely met in an effort to secure essential resources and business survival.

Dunn first joined Brock’s Goodman School of Business in the Accounting Department where he taught for 15 years. In 2013, he moved to the Organizational Behaviour, Human Resources, Entrepreneurship and Ethics department where he teaches business ethics in undergraduate and graduate programs.

His research, which covers a range of topics including business ethics, corporate social responsibility and corporate governance, has been published in numerous peer-reviewed journals including Journal of Business Ethics, International Business Research, Journal of Management and Governance, and Business & Society.

Dunn is co-author of Business and Professional Ethics for Directors and Accountants, ninth edition. He holds the role of consultant editor for Journal of Business Ethics and associate editor of the Business and Society Review. Dunn is also a member of the editorial boards for both Business & Society and Journal of Management and Governance. 

The Luncheon Speaker Series provides Goodman faculty, staff and students with an informal opportunity to discuss recent advances in research, teaching and practices with business colleagues. The talk will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in Sankey Chamber.

The event is open to everyone, and anyone interested in attending can RSVP to Administrative Co-ordinator Jennifer Smith at jsmith2@brocku.ca to reserve a seat.
