Teaching of business ethics in educational institutes.
According to Velasquez,
Andre, Thomas Shanks, & Meyer, 2017, Ethics is a philosophy that
deals with morality and values to differentiate between the rightness and
wrongness which includes the human conduct which motivates a person to
differentiate between right and wrong. It defines ethics of person that how
does he behaves in society and what conduct he has. It measures the the moral
standard of a person in society that how much he concerns the right conduct and
wrong conduct. Ethics determine the conduct of a person in a society and his
behaviour. It explains that how a participant in business should know about the
benefits and risks in a product. If a customer wants to withdraw from a product
then he has right to choose or withdraw from it and no implications can be
employed to him.
Traditionally, teachers use
various philosophies of moral scholars to study ethics and find out their work
regarding ethics. For example Kant used preferred approaches to teach the
ethics, including business ethics. Some scholars justify using literature as a
tool for teaching ethics (Gilbert, 2007;Singer & Singer, 2005;Clemens &
Mayer, 1999;Shepard, Goldsby, & Gerde, 1997 So while it may be an
exaggeration to elaborate that Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel caused the Civil
War, there's no doubt that Uncle Tom's Cabin, by helping to shape public
opinion in the 1850s, was indeed a factor leading to the war (McNamara, 2014).
So scholars have explained the ethics and teachers nowadays quote and justify
it.
The literature consists of
thoughtful descriptions and reflections of innovative approaches which can be
used in business ethics teaching. For example, Shepard, Goldsby and Gerde
(1997) suggested a way of teaching business ethics based on business-related classic
literature and moral philosophy. Likewise, Brinkmann (2008) justified the use
of the business ethics literature and scenes in triggering moral reflection and
tells the ethical condition and situations in society. Teachings of business
ethics first need to make some amendments in curriculum of business ethics.
First students should deeply think about the relationship of wealth and moral
values. Then students should consider the phycology and own importance. Further
students should bring awareness of entrepreneurship and dealing with society.
Aims and objectives of business ethics study is to enlighten students about the
business and moral values in business about how to behave with participant and
stakeholders.
A faculty and institution should
have a critical focus on the development of ethical analysis and they motivate
students and themselves about teaching business ethics. As business ethics has
caught the attention of institutions and make it part of literature and create
pedagogical business ethic ways to transfer their students and motivates them
about business and society. Institutes and teachers motivate students about the
business ethics and its implications. Business ethics is actually an integrated
part of educational curriculum to explain its goals and working in society
(Ronald R Sims, Johannes Brinkmann Teaching Business Ethics 7 (1), 69-86,
2003). Business ethics reevaluates the nature of purpose and desires between
life and behavior in business. Business ethics teaching motivates students to
consider the importance of ethical moralities in business for business survival
in society. Teachers should motivate the students about the consumer importance
and behavior of firm with its customers. When a customer finds morally wrong to
a firm it may switch their choice to somewhere else so business ethics
motivation benefits not only to consumers but also business holders.
An ethical overview in business
is actually elaborated about the confidentiality, risk to the customer from the
business, consent about the product, surety about the physical features about
the business services and goods. Project explains the physiological effect of
business ethics between the customer and owner. It also explains that if any
product may be a defaulted one participant is informed about the issues and
risks in product and he is known to the defaults. It also indicates the right
to choose or withdraw from product and let participant know about the benefits
and justification of ethical approval from agency or parents.
Ethical framework should be used
to study the business ethics for the future participant of students in society
and in field of entrepreneurship. Business ethics should be course which
ethicists should teach the students and can efficiently learn them about the
relationship of moral values and ethics, by business faculty in business
courses, or perhaps by both. These are some of the issues this project will
address. The project begins with a review of the literature concerning
approaches to teaching business ethics. Next, some ethical frameworks for
teaching business ethics are considered. Ethicists can also help students about
the moral values to be considered in business and its phycological impact on
participant. Finally, the project proposes that students should employ their
own personal values to business ethical issues in the classroom, thus providing
future business leaders in the field of entrepreneurship with a process for
resolving ethical dilemmas and benefits society. They work for community for
betterment of society and enlighten the participant about the product and make
them ensure about the benefits and risks of product and teach them about the
choice of participant. (Alfonso R Oddo
Journal of Business
Ethics).
This project assessed change in
students’ moral reasoning following in time durations according to the project
in classes on business ethics and few assignments utilizing a novel
pedagogical approach designed to enlighten ethical reasoning skills. To
minimize risks in the current study to validity present in previous studies, an
untreated control group design with pre- and post-training measures were used.
Training (n = ) and control (n = ) groups
includes freshmen who have just started their field in business majors
who completed the Defining Issues Test before and after the training. Results
justify that, controlling for pre-training levels of moral reasoning, students
in the training group demonstrated higher levels of post-training principled
moral judgment than students in the control group because they have experience
about the studies and they are well known about the business considerations and
role of business ethics in society and business survival.
