Work with us to equip a new generation of entrepreneurial leaders with the tools to brave ethical dilemmas.
The Principled Entrepreneurial Action and Knowledge (PEAK) project prioritizes applied ethics in entrepreneurship education. PEAK is an educational collaboration led by Stanford University, Duke University and the University of St. Thomas.
It’s time to start teaching applied ethics.
Formal entrepreneurship education has too often relegated ethics to the fringes of the curriculum.
Entrepreneurs and innovators influence every aspect of our lives. The effects of breakthrough technologies and disruptive enterprises cut across industries, institutions and academic disciplines.
The next generation requires a robust toolkit for creating ethical solutions at scale.
