The initiative strives to foster a culture of integrity, and promote thought leadership and inquiry among scholars, students, and business leaders to address the ethical challenges inherent in our increasingly complex business world.
Who We Are
The Sam M. Walton College of Business began the Business Integrity Leadership Initiative (BILI) in January 2020 to bring a more comprehensive, strategic and influential approach to business ethics for our students and other stakeholders.
We are equipping future business leaders with a mindset that encourages them to act and lead with integrity for long-term, sustainable business success.
We are accomplishing this by creating and sharing thought leadership and encouraging innovation through three channels: education, research and outreach. Our Initiative’s approach is practical, integrated, and experiential in nature.
