...Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative University of New Mexico http://danielsethics.mgt.unm.edu Integrating Business Ethics in Business Courses INTRODUCTION Teaching business ethics requires an understanding of the organizational dimensions of ethical decisionmaking. Although most people believe that employees learn to be ethical at home and school and through life experiences, the work environment creates challenges for even the most ethical person. For example, employees cannot always make independent ethical decisions due to a corporate culture that has many types of managers and employees using their own concepts of right and wrong. Managers sometimes pressure employees into questionable activities. However, business ethics becomes more transparent once an organization establishes codes of ethics, as well as compliance requirements and ethical leadership. The objective of this chapter is to provide some essential strategies for integrating business ethics into business courses. The authors examine the role of stakeholders, implications of the global financial crisis, and important issues in teaching business ethics, as well as providing resources to integrate business ethics successfully into a course. THE IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS ETHICS Business courses provide an essential and dynamic foundation for students developing their business careers. Although it is important to teach many traditional concepts such as human resources and marketing, emphasizing emerging topics that are...

Therefore we learn some forms of behaviour considered to be normal, thus enabling us to integrate within society. There are three factors that influence us into socialisation which are personal, cultural and structural. (Thompson 2001) As some individuals, groups and communities in society have different ‘values’ it is inevitable that there will be “differences” between individuals and other cultures. These differences are not always viewed or accepted the same by others, therefore they are then categorised by social divisions: class, race, gender and the broader social...

That year’s class was one of the most brilliant in the nineteenth century. Many of his classmates, such as Jean Jaurès and Henri Bergson, went on to become very influential to France’s history. Very early in his career, Durkheim became interested in the scientific approach to society by reading works by social scientists, Herbert Spencer and Auguste Comte, and studying with Numa Denis Fustel de Coulanges. Thus, he found many problems with the French Academic System, because they had no social science curriculum. After studying social science at a University in Germany, he traveled to Bordeaux in 1887 for a teaching position. There, he occupied a position teaching pedagogy and one of the few positions as a Social Science teacher.
