Abstract Details

2009, Doctor of Education, Ashland University, College of Education.
The purpose of this study was to assess the treatment of ethics in core MBA curriculums in Ohio in response to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. MBA programs are venues where students learn the critical skills needed to succeed in the world of business. In response to business scandals such as Tyco, Enron, and WorldCom, Congress required businessmen as a matter of law to act ethically. This action combined with increased public displeasure over inappropriate behavior increased the demand for more ethically skilled business leaders. This study determined that MBA programs in Ohio failed to adjust their core curriculums in response to the new demand for increased ethics instruction created by the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. Private and public institutions reacted to the legislation in a similar manner; however, private and public institutions approach the teaching of ethics differently.
