MANHATTAN -- Diane Swanson, the von Waaden Business Administration professor at Kansas State University, is a business ethics expert who can discuss employees participating in March Madness betting pools.

Swanson says that although she is not encouraging a technically illegal activity, betting pools can potentially solidify employee relationships and boost morale, therefore compensating in part for whatever they may cost in lost productivity.
