A common question that arises is the place that ethics has in business. Many argue for and against the issue but few truly understand how they intertwine and the importance ethics has. Take Sauder alumni Nolan Watson for example; who is a striving force behind Sandstorm Gold and a powerhouse in the business world. In a video entitled “Compassion Kills” he shared insight to his own life and how he considered leaving business school to become a humanitarian. His father then guided him to become a businessman first to know how organizations run, how economies work and find solutions to the problems facing the world. He then started his own organization, Nation’s Cry, and exemplifies the role ethics has in business for all of us. Gone is the stereotype of the cut-throat business world, but instead how people can use their power and business knowledge to positively impact the world. Nolan Watson is one person; imagine the effect the entire graduating class could have if committed to using business as a way to reach out to the rest of the world. As Nolan stated, “I could do more to help others if I could help build their economies.”
