Ready-to-use-simulation: THE SLIPPERY SLOPE©

The purpose of THE SLIPPERY SLOPE^© is to expose participants to a complex process of how individuals and firms deal with ethical issues in business. This experiential game is being developed as a response to continued corporate unethical and often illegal decision making, coupled with perceptions that there is increased cheating in schools across the United States.
