Ethics First Event, February 23rd, 2016

Value through Values - What Makes my Business Soar

At the shores of Lake Constance lies beautifully Lilienberg Unternehmerforum, a conferencing facility most suited for dialogue and reflection. Ethics First, our executive education joint venture with the Global Ethic Institute at the University of Tübingen, is inviting to an afternoon event looking at the value of values for the SME sector in the region.

The region around Lake Constance and the bordering eastern part of Switzerland, western part of Austria and southern part of Germany have a long standing history of delivering entrepreneurial success stories. Simultaneously though these are challenging times for SMEs. They are on one hand hailed for being the backbone of prosperity in the region, but on the other hand face an ever more competitive environment challenging traditional business practices.

This highly interactive event is a collaborative effort between ETHICS FIRST, the executive education joint venture of the Global Ethic Institute at the University of Tübingen and the HMC and Lilienberg Unternehmerforum. During the event we will assess how strong values help to successfully navigate the complexities of managing SMEs in a global marketplace.

"On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world, shareholder value is a result, not a strategy … Your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products." Jack Welsh


"Too many people think only of their own profit. But business opportunity seldom knocks on the door of self-centered people. No customer ever goes to a store merely to please the storekeeper." Kazuo Inamori

"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." Henry Ford


"Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof." John Kenneth Galbraith

"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared." Buddha


"We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization." Kofi Annan
