More reflections on Another Way of Doing Business 

On July 8 and August 25, 2009, the Center for Integrity in Business gathered business scholars, practitioners, and theologians to shape the research/scholarly agenda for the Center and advance the larger work of our articulation of a Christian understanding of business, referred to as Another Way of Doing Business (AWDB).  Panelists and featured speakers included leaders from business, the church, and the academy.  Agreed-upon next steps in advancing the scholarly agenda for the Center can be found here.
