Description

BACKGROUND Today's business community has demonstrated a paucity of business ethics, and raised concern among business educators about the efficacy of ethics instruction as part of a business education. Ever since details emerged about the corporate scandals at Enron, Tyco, MCI WorldCom, and Arthur Andersen, among others, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) has struggled to determine what steps may be taken in higher education to prevent future ethical embarrassments (Verschoor, 2007). A study done by the Center for Academic Integrity found that 74 percent of business majors admitted to cheating. (Vierria, 2007).
