Why Develop Guidelines for Professional Conduct?
A number of other professional organizations have codes of ethics. We felt it was important for our professional society to have a statement of our values—values that support the members of the profession and the field of strategic management. One primary reason for developing a set of guidelines for professional conduct is to help our members in making decisions about their own professional actions that contribute to the further development of the field of strategic management. Finally, we believe such guidelines could be especially helpful to new members of the field and the Society.
