“…All students, irrespective of whether they have undergone an ethical module/workshop or not, perceive these situations similarly. These findings are consistent with some other studies which conclude that the impact of ethics course is limited or short lived (Tanner and Cudd, 1999) or trivial (Borkowski and Ugras, 1998;Conroy and Emerson, 2004).…”

Worldwide rapid changes are occurring in the economic arena with various multinational corporations (MNCs) attempting to recruit fresh graduates from various countries. India is considered to be one of the potential markets for these recruiters. As employees, these fresh graduates bring an Indian ethical business perspective to the day-to-day business operations of the organisations they work for. Thus, it is imperative for multinational managers to know whether business success in India comes at an ethical cost. This paper focuses on understanding perspective of business management students (would-be managers) towards ethical dilemmas using 12 vignettes. We have examined responses of 201 business management students and found that students appeared to be readily compromise on situations dealing with professional advantage. The study indicates that future managers' associations of business and ethics is altering, thus, it is pertinent to examine its magnitude and new ethical equilibrium.

Studies on students' perception of corporate social responsibility (CSR) have been growing in western scholarship. For students in African countries, such as Nigeria, there is little that is known about how and whether gender, level of study, and being enrolled in business education courses impact their perception of and disposition towards CSR. This study explores the significance of gender, academic status or level of study, and exposure to business ethics education (BEE) on Nigerian students' perception of CSR as a veritable business ethic. Specifically, the effects of these factors on students' perception of CSR are examined using analysis of variance. The results show a significant effect of exposure to BEE and gender on CSR‐sensitivity, and a mild, but significant effect of academic status. This implies that male students and female students had different perspectives on CSR issues. Students who took ethics courses and those who did not would run businesses differently. However, age and experience on campus did not influence students' perception or position on CSR. The study recommends that more behavioral models be estimated with the inclusion of more demographic and socioeconomic variables to elicit more robust results.

“…One of these lies in the dissatisfaction with students' writing and communication skills and lack of creativity, although the difficulty of nurturing that desirable quality was acknowledged. Tanner and Cudd (1999) cite studies that observed that professors in accounting, management, marketing and management information systemsareinagreement in perceiving that students are especially weak in math skills and not adequately prepared in verbal, writing and communication skills.Theirown survey of finance faculty revealed that the majority of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that those entering finance majors had poor writing skills and that half felt" that graduating students still did not exhibit good writing skills. Moreover, there was survey evidenceto indicate that the perception of poor writing skills was worsein J996 than in 1989.…”
