Business dean says ethics are guiding values for decision-making
?It seems the traditional separate ethics class method isn?t producing the optimum result,? said Kruczek. ?We?re trying to change that.?
Unlike many business schools across the nation, Lynn University?s College of Business and Management does not offer stand-alone courses on business ethics, business communications and/or sustainable enterprises.
?We believe ethics ? and other key business values ? are such important topics that they should be embedded into all of our business courses,? said Thomas Kruczek, dean of Lynn?s College of Business. ?The discussion of ethics, both personal and business, warrants far more in-depth attention than a one-semester class that meets twice a week.?
Lynn?s College of Business is working to change the outdated model of having only one or two courses specifically dedicated to guiding business principles. The university?s core curriculum, the Dialogues of Learning, also works to buck the trend by embedding life lessons throughout all Lynn classes.
?As educators, our hope is that we are helping to make the world a better place by training our students to enter the world as productive, contributing and ethical business leaders,? said Kruczek. ?Our ethics and guiding values are at the root of every decision we make.?
ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING
Ethical decision-making is the foundation for building a successful business. However, in the wake of the financial crisis, unethical business agendas seem to garner the most attention.
?Enron, Global Crossing and WorldCom are key examples of the poor choices we hear about,? said Kruczek. ?That?s one of the reasons we emphasize ethics so strongly here at Lynn. We are seeing questionable decisions in too many businesses, so it seems the traditional separate ethics class method isn?t producing the optimum result. We?re trying to change that.?
