LaRue Hosmer is an Emeritus Professor who taught a mixture of courses on Corporate Strategy, Entrepreneurial Ventures and Business Ethics at the University of Michigan, USA. He found, during his career, that these were not three different topics. Instead, they were three different ways of addressing the same issue of successful organizational leadership using separate theoretical approaches. Patrick Barry has a J.D. from the University of Chicago and now teaches at the University of Michigan, where he also advises the Human Trafficking Clinic, the first law school clinic in the country to provide comprehensive representation to victims of human trafficking.
