John Hooker, T. Jerome Holleran Professor of Business Ethics and Social Responsibility at CMU, discussed the way cultural differences have helped shape the new economic order. Using different examples from around the world, Hooker outlined how cultural qualities inform business practices and shape some of the largest economies in the world.

Hooker’s address was the inaugural Thomas M. Kerr, Jr. Distinguished Lecture in Ethics at CMU-Q, named in honor of Thomas Kerr and his lifelong commitment to teaching law, ethics and civil liberties at Carnegie Mellon.
