The ethics of business students and business education: a review and Ckitique

Abstract

Social responsibility and ethical decision making are increasingly becoming

more important goals for business. A review of the literature indicates

continued conflict between profit objectives and ethical objectives. It is not

clear whether business students are less ethical , as ethical , or more ethical than practitioners. The results of the research are also equivocal as to the

effectiveness of business ethics education, The many unresolved issues in

ethics education will require additional and different research efforts.
