Addressing Public Relations and Business Ethics to University Students (09/27/2007)
Ms. Davis also had the opportunity to speak to over 70 local university students while she was in Uzbekistan. As a businesswoman that runs her own public relations firm, she spoke to them on a topic that is near to her heart, Public Relations in Business. She drew the students into the discussion by offering well-known examples from her own business experience, including her work with American hip hop artist Puff Daddy.
Ms. Davis said after the event that she was impressed by the Uzbek students, commenting that she had not expected that they would already know so much about public relations. Ms. Davis also made a separate presentation to students on Business Ethics.
To teach her audience about the importance of ethics in business, Ms. Davis divided the students into small groups to analyze and present case studies that raised ethical dilemmas. The students reported that they enjoyed having this opportunity to practice their English with a native English speaker and also to expand their knowledge.
