Dr. Bernacchio has published widely in peer-reviewed journals including Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Review, Business Ethics Quarterly, Journal of Business Ethics, Acta Philosophica, and International Philosophical Quarterly. His research is focused on virtue-based approaches to business ethics as well as topics at the intersection of behavioral strategy, organization theory, and ethics. He is currently completing a monograph on business ethics, offering a comprehensive account of the ethics of markets, firms, and stakeholder relations from a neo-Aristotelian perspective. He is also interested in Thomism, Catholic Social Teaching, and Ignatian Spirituality. In addition, Dr. Bernacchio is a member of the editorial boards of Business Ethics Quarterly and Philosophy of Management.

Dr. Bernacchio often uses the case method when teaching business ethics to give students a practical perspective on pressing ethical challenges facing today’s business leaders. His teaching is also informed by leading research, including his own research in business ethics and organization theory, to give students a more nuanced understanding of these problems. As the Director of the Center for Ethics and Economic Justice, he is responsible for developing programs that give Loyola business students the opportunity to pursue further formation in leadership and responsible business and to engage in the promotion of economic justice through study and service.
