Abstract

ABSTRACT: The author sought to determine whether business faculty values and background can discriminate between a yes or no response to the introduction of an ethically challenged product. The results reveal that two competing views of the enterprise (stakeholder vs. stockholder) along with a faculty member's departmental membership do discriminate in the expected direction. The results suggest that a faculty member's values have the potential to create student confusion and require additional inquiry concerning impediment removal.
