Welcome to the Business Ethics Learning Lab (BELL)
BELL is where academics, students, and ethics and compliance leaders come together to solve business ethics problems through research and collaboration.
Our goal is to challenge assumptions and advance the field of applied behavioral ethics and compliance. It’s also where we highlight all the crazy ideas we’re working on that don’t fit somewhere else.
Behavioral Science Teaching Cases
Short case studies targeted to behavioral ethics and compliance topics. Each with prompts to drive discussion and learning.
BELL Industry & Academic Partnerships
One of the main goals of BELL is to bring academics and industry leaders together to tackle thorny compliance problems through applied behavioral science. We’ve helped large and small companies understand, use, and benefit from the tools of behavioral ethics and compliance.
Some of our partnerships include:
One-on-one behavioral compliance coaching with chief ethics and compliance officers
Collaborations between a dozen academics and compliance leaders across disciplines and industry to solve common compliance breakdowns
Targeted behavioral compliance research by BELL research assistants to support organizational change
Guided workshops to help compliance officers assess unethical conduct risk and minimize it across workforce
Are you a company leader looking to apply behavioral ethics concepts but not sure where to start? Do you have a behavioral compliance project in mind but need academic support? Do you have lots of behavioral data and need some guidance on how to use it?

The Behavioral Ethics Risk Survey Tool
The Behavioral Ethics Risk Survey Tool (BERST) identifies and measures ethical risk in organizations. The survey detects ethical risk specific to the organization in which an employee works by considering their knowledge of organizational values, their personal alignment with those values, and the pressures that may cause them to make unethical decisions. By creating a single metric of risk for each employee in a company, and then being able to aggregate that risk at the departmental, office, or geographical level, organizations will be able to predict where ethical risk factors lie and target interventions. BERST is at the scale validation stage. We are looking for organizational partners with which to collaborate.
