Editor’s Note

It is with great sadness t hat I must report that W. Michael

Hoffman, founder and longti me director of the Center for

Business Ethics, passed away last December a fter a brief ill-

ness. Mike was a pioneer in the field of business ethics, a nd in

addition to his work at the Center, he also joined with other schol-

ars to establish the So ciety for Business Ethics, Business Ethics

Quarterly , and the Ethics Of ficer Association. His career-long dedi-

cation to business ethics, innovati ve teaching, prolific scholar ship,

and the many fr iendships he nurtured wit h colleagues both in the

United States and across the world wil l ensure that generations

of scholars and practitioners wi ll carr y on his life’s work toward a

more ethical business world. His insig ht, encouragement, support,

and comradeship wil l especially be m issed at Business and Society

Review. Rest in peace, Mike.
