For business students, students the need to study ethics should now be as clear as the need to study the other subfields of business education. Without this background, students will be unprepared for a career in contemporary business. But even for students not anticipating a career in business Management or business administration, familiarity with business ethics is just as crucial. It was not, after all, only the managers at Enron who suffered because of their ethical lapses. Our lives as employees, as consumers, as citizens are affected by decisions made within business institutions, and therefore everyone has good reasons for being concerned with the ethics of those decision makers.
