Mark Schwartz, an associate professor of business ethics at York University’s Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies (LA&PS), has edited a collection of writing by his York mentor and friend, Professor Emeritus Wesley Cragg.
The book, Wesley Cragg: A Canadian Business Ethics Pioneer, features articles and book chapters from Cragg’s prolific and influential career. Together, they highlight his views on ethical decision‑making in business across areas such as human rights, corruption, environmental ethics, Indigenous rights and more. Many of the pieces included are collaborations with York scholars, including Alan Greenbaum, Ian Greene, Dirk Matten and Schwartz.
Schwartz, who completed his PhD under Cragg’s supervision, says Cragg had an enormous influence on his life and career. He notes his encouragement, guidance and ethical principles have shaped the way that Schwartz teaches today.
Schwartz is an award-winning teacher and researcher who has contributed to journals such as Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, Business & Society, Business and Society Review, Corporate Governance: An International Review and Business Horizons. He was ranked first in Canada and fourth globally in business ethics research quality out of 7,908 authors, based on data used in the study A Citation Analysis of Business Ethics Research: A Global Perspective (1999-2012), published in the Journal of Business Ethics in July 2016.
