As a part of this collaboration, the Centre for Capital Markets and Risk Management/Finance Lab at IIMB is organizing a 90-minute talk on Dealing with Ethical Dilemmas and Ethical Decision Making in the Investment Management Industry – 18th October 2016, Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore from 3.30 p.m. to 5.00 p.m. Venue: K-11. The lecture will cover topics such as being able to work successfully with ambiguity is increasingly cited as a critical skill in modern workplaces. Ambiguity presents numerous challenges, among them the ability to identify reliable principles to base decision making on, and the ability to apply a process through which to systematically evaluate options for action. Ethical dilemmas are a form of workplace ambiguity, readily generated by the competing priorities in finance and investment businesses. It is a common misperception that unethical action is an uncommon occurrence, performed by already bad people. On the contrary, ethical dilemmas are entirely commonplace occurrences, and often result in perfectly good people deciding to do questionable things.
