This web-site is, primarily, for academics and students interested in teaching and research in Business Ethics. Courses in Business Ethics have multiplied in recent years alongside a growing concern with the ethical practices of business. There has been a proliferation in the number of books on the subject and the creation of specialist journals devoted to the subject.
Business ethics is taught in UK universities by academics from a range of diverse disciplines.
Some have a background management and others have a grounding in ethics and philosophy. The curriculum of such courses reflects that diversity. This web-site aims to gather together the range of issues taught and the materials used and provide a 'meeting place' for those of us who are interested in the subject. The web-site will be regularly updated. The web-site is prepared by the Open University and the Institute of Business Ethics and is sponsored by The Foundation For Business Responsibilities .
