I am teaching Business Ethics this fall, and it's always quite a ride. The ride is an especially interesting one this particular term, in view of everything going on in the news. The election and dirty politics could keep me busy all term, but Wall Street is running a close second.
What is most difficult, however, is the inability of some students to leave their own personal values and morals at the door (to some degree) in order to understand that Business Ethics is it's own "rulebook".
One colleague jokingly called Business Ethics an oxymoron. Maybe it wasn't such a joke. In looking for businesses codes of ethics online yesterday, I found many links for Halliburton's Code of Ethics, but each page had been removed.
I'll check in occasionally with the progression of this very intriguing class, and please send along any tidbits that you feel would be interesting fodder for the class.
