Thomas Donaldson, professor of legal studies and business ethics at the Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania, leads the roll call of honour in the 2009 faculty pioneer awards from the Aspen Institute Center for Business Education. The awards recognise professors who integrate social, environmental and ethical issues into their MBA teaching.
Prof Donaldson, who receives Aspen’s lifetime achievement award, is a founding member of the Society for Business Ethics and author of four books, including Ties that Bind: A Social Contract Approach to Business Ethics, which won a best book award at the Academy of Management. One of his current projects involves writing about ethics and hedge funds.
