It is imperative that business ethics be taught at all MBA programmes, and even at the undergraduate level. While no graduate of law, dentistry, veterinary, medicine, engineering, social work or other professional schools can take a degree in any of these respective subjects without being made aware of the case for the propriety and general beneficence of their calling, the same, unfortunately, cannot be said in the case of business schools. In the latter case, all too often, students are allowed to graduate without ever once being confronted with the argument that business too, and even pre-eminently so, makes an important contribution to society, and is a worthwhile pursuit. All too often, despite even having a course in business ethics, students emerge believing that commerce is either vaguely disreputable, or even that it is totally dishonest per se and exploitative. No graduate school from anthropology to zoology has to suffer any similar ignominy. Business ethics is seen by many graduate schools of commerce or management as a luxury, which can be jettisoned in favour of other, and sometimes more fashionable, courses. When a business ethics course is offered, the content of the course pays very little attention to the essential ethic of business. Instead, the focus of many business ethics courses is the ethical dilemmas that arise in a business setting. There is a fundamental difference between the ethics of a market and behaving ethically in a business. A market is a process by which individuals interact with one another. Thus, the former examines the actions, interactions and consequences of those actions between individuals as a system, while the later examines the dilemma before an individual and the morality of the choices to be made. There are 38 unique business ethics titles under the top six textbook publishing companies, 22 of which were published in 2005 or later. (Appendix I lists the publishers and the respective textbooks.) Upon reviewing these textbooks in business ethics, we see a tremendous number of chapters that address corporate social responsibility, the collective responsibility of an organization, how the corporation should treat its employees and personal decision making. (Of the 38 titles, most followed a very similar format, while seven followed the casebook format.) Typically, there is an initial chapter introducing the student to business ethics. Newton & Ford (2006), for example, entitle their first chapter ‘Is Capitalism the Best Route to Human Happiness?’. It then contrasts readings from Adam Smith and Karl Marx, leaving the student with the false impression that philosophical arguments supporting the ethics of the market have not progressed in the past 225 years. Throughout the rest of Newton & Ford (2006), the issue is dropped and the focus shifts to the modern issues that address ethics of business decisions, like corporate responsibility, etc. The exclusion from the discussion of the ethics of business is ab

More and more management consultants are digging deep to unearth profound answers to ethical issues in the consulting business. Searching questions are being asked about how they perceive themselves. A number of failed consulting projects with dramatic consequences such as Swissair Group or Enron have recently hit the headlines and often brought questionable ‘principles of consulting’ to light (e.g. Byrne 2000, 2002). A tarnished image and eroding confidence have affected this industry especially hard: the whole business stands or falls by the consultant’s reputation, because consulting performance can only be ‘measured’ by approximation and estimation (cf. O’Shea & Madigan 1997, Ernst 2002). Increasingly, therefore, consultants are looking to a new, ethically more robust understanding of what they do.
越来越多的管理顾问正在深入挖掘咨询业务中道德问题的深刻答案。关于他们如何看待自己的问题被问到。最近，瑞士航空集团(Swissair Group)或安然公司(Enron)等一些失败的咨询项目引发了戏剧性的后果，它们登上了新闻头条，并经常将可疑的“咨询原则”暴露出来(例如Byrne 2000, 2002)。形象受损和信心受损对这个行业的影响尤为严重:整个行业的成败取决于咨询师的声誉，因为咨询业绩只能通过近似和估计来“衡量”(参见O’shea & Madigan 1997, Ernst 2002)。因此，越来越多的咨询师正在寻求一种新的、道德上更健全的理解他们所做的事情。

This paper discusses the idea that investors have moral reasons to avoid investing in certain business areas based on their own moral views towards these areas. Some have referred to this as 'conscience investing', and it is a central part of the conception of ethical investing within the socially responsible investment (SRI) movement. The paper presents what is taken to be the main arguments for this kind of investing as they are given by those who have defended it, and discusses the plausibility of these arguments from the point of view of moral philosophy. The paper argues that focusing on the moral views of individual investors is not very fruitful - there are strong reasons to think that investors do not have moral reasons to invest 'with their consciences', or, to the extent that such reasons are allowed, that they are very weak compared with other sorts of moral reasons pertaining to ethical investing.
