The debate continues - the reference point is always ENRON.
So many business schools (if not all by now) have taken this seriously judging from the number of stand alone business ethics courses. It is difficult to teach on ethics I suppose - we are talking about grown-ups who already have a sense of what is and is not ethical. If they missed the basics during their formative early years will the professors instill ethics in them?
In letter to the editor a lady was obviously unimpressed by the trend.
"You cannot learn ethics and moral issues in a business schools. Once you taste blood there is no going back. There will always be greed, that is the nature of the beast. Two things rule the world money and sex and trust me you never get them both by being ethical". What?!
I read some schools send their business students to visit white collar criminals at minimum security to discuss the consequences of violating business ethics.
