7. Bruce Hutton, director of Ethics Integration at DCB
explains the purpose of DCB’s ethical curriculum is to
“Help students understand that being ethical is not a
matter of just following a set of rules. Situations are
very complicated and we want to provide them with a
framework within which to make the best decision.”
8. Daniel Sweeney, director of the Institute for Enterprise
Ethics at DCB offers context for the occurrence of
business scandals: “When there’s a lot of pressure for
performance, there’s stronger temptation to find a
cheap, quick way to yield fast results. The more the
company is focused on short-term profits, the more
they will be tempted to take shortcuts,” he explains.

bunch of people working together for the greater good,
engaging in teamwork and service, and listening to
leaders who are role models. And the ultimate hope is
that some of the ethical teaching rubs off.

most ethical business schools.
