teaching business ethics  

Definition

  • Teaching business ethics at universities involves delivering instructional material on the social value of commerce aimed at helping students understand society's expectations of business responsibilities and the responses of corporations and their agents. Although investigation into the role of commerce in society has been a topic of discussion throughout recorded history, teaching ethics in university business schools is largely a product of the latter part of the 20th century.
