THE CANADIAN RESEARCH STRATEGY FOR APPLIED ETHICS - A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR RESEARCH IN BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

In Towards a Canadian Research Strategy For Applied Ethics, I put forward proposals to advance Canadian research in applied ethics. I focus on the assessment made of Canadian teaching, consulting, and research in business and professional ethics and then on the strategy proposed for advancing work in these areas. I argue for research which is [1] oriented to the ethical needs of those in business and the professions, [2] interdisciplinary, and [3] involves the creation of national and international networks. I then offer some preliminary observations on the first two years of the new research strategy's operation.
