Detroit, Greece share a resistance streak
Wayne State University marketing professor Richard Beltramini was part of the team that conducted research which was published in the Journal of Business Ethics showing business students fear falling ethics. The study follows similar research projects Beltramini worked on in 1984 and 1991. Concerns about ethics are higher now than in the two prior student surveys. So what worries college-level business students most? Besides finding a job, it appears that many worry that success in their future field might require them to behave unethically. The more than 2,000 students surveyed at 23 universities across the United States also see now how "lower ethical standards" can affect their own finances, including savings and retirement funds.
