As I’m sure I’ve previously mentioned (but am currently too lazy to go back and look up), ethics as it pertains to business is a large part of the curriculum at Atkinson. I found one of our readings - The Ethical Mind - to be fascinating. You might, too.
One of the things he says is “[It's more difficult for businesspeople to adhere to an ethical mind than it is for other profressionals] because stricktly speaking, business is not - nor has it ever been, a profession. Professions develop over long periods of time and gradually establish a set of control mechanisms and sanctions for those who violate the code.” I think that’s an interesting insight, especially as someone who’s studying business.
