About the Author

Professor Terry Halbert (J.D., Rutgers University, Camden) has been teaching at Temple University's Fox School of Business & Management for 19 years. Her research and teaching is interdisciplinary, focusing on business ethics and public policy concerns. This year she published in Business & Society Review on the tobacco industry's efforts to resist regulation that would render cigarettes less likely to start fires; the article was distributed to New York City Council members contemplating passage of the nation's first fire-safe cigarette law. Halbert has developed industry-specific courses on the tobacco industry and on gambling, in which students take up each issue from several perspectives, including: history, sociology, law, ethics, economics, race/class/gender, literature and film. Halbert has served as a staff editor for the American Business Law Journal since 1995, and is a member of the Pennsylvania Bar. In 1999, Halbert was a recipient of Temple's Great Teacher award. A believer in experiential learning, Professor Halbert teaches an Executive MBA course in which managers discuss and analyze the actual ethical dilemmas they face at work
