A Capstone Project in Business Ethics: Building an Ethics Training Program.

This exercise for teaching business ethics is industry-specific, challenging, and requires direct student participation. Specifically, student groups are asked to develop an ethics training session for a business with an accompanying training manual. The exercise involves a comprehensive description of ethical issues in a particular industry, possible causes of unethical behaviors, sources for information on ethical issues, and linkages to corporate codes of ethics. A discussion of the exercise's potential benefits, challenges, and impact on instructors is provided.
