Abstract: | This paper presents four different contexts in which students practiced implementing business ethics. Students were required
to develop Codes of Conduct/Codes of Ethics as a classroom exercise. By developing these codes, students can improve their
understanding of how and why codes of conduct are developed, designed, and implemented in the workplace. Using the three-phase
content analysis process (McCabe et al.: 1999, The Journal of Higher Education 70(2), 211–234), we identify a framework consisting of 10 classifications that can be used to assess learning outcomes in embedded
ethics education. By analyzing the different content within each classification, instructors were able to gain a better understanding
of differing application of ethical principles. This analysis indicates that there needs to be more research on codes of conduct
for smaller units within an organization and more integration of work group codes of conduct into the business curriculum. |
