“…While at postgraduate levels it is expected that students should understand issues of plagiarism, it nevertheless is pro-active to ensure that students are able to obtain needed support if they struggle with academic literacy. This may include programmes targeted at writing skills (Löfström, 2011) as well as those focused on instilling broader academic ethics in students (Dzuranin et al, 2013;Marques, 2016).…”

Internationally, student plagiarism is on the rise despite measures introduced by universities to detect its occurrence and to institute actions to prevent and address this practice. One of the reasons that may contribute to this problem is the reluctance of faculty to report student plagiarism. Through the medium of a disguised South African case study, this paper advances reasons to explain this oversight. Such reasons include psychological discomfort, opportunity costs, lack of procedural clarity, administrative bureaucracy and a prevailing culture of managerialism. Recommendations are furnished to faculty alerting them to practices of which they must be aware when intending to report student plagiarism. Recommendations are also proposed to university leaders and administrators with regard to leadership support for those who report student plagiarism, the development of clear policies and procedures, the reduction of bureaucratic red tape, support to students whose first language is not English and reflection on the institutional moral context within which students study.

“…Authors of this paper feel strongly that b-school students should be trained to act ethically and to exhibit ethical leadership but whether it can be developed through introducing a course is uncertain. Ruegger and King (1992) and Dzuranin et al (2013) supported an integrated business ethics curriculum which allows for various levels of exposure to different ethical constructs and can prepare students for the inevitable moral dilemmas they will face in organisations.…”

Worldwide rapid changes are occurring in the economic arena with various multinational corporations (MNCs) attempting to recruit fresh graduates from various countries. India is considered to be one of the potential markets for these recruiters. As employees, these fresh graduates bring an Indian ethical business perspective to the day-to-day business operations of the organisations they work for. Thus, it is imperative for multinational managers to know whether business success in India comes at an ethical cost. This paper focuses on understanding perspective of business management students (would-be managers) towards ethical dilemmas using 12 vignettes. We have examined responses of 201 business management students and found that students appeared to be readily compromise on situations dealing with professional advantage. The study indicates that future managers' associations of business and ethics is altering, thus, it is pertinent to examine its magnitude and new ethical equilibrium.

“…When faced with an ethical decision, people may experience tension between their inclinations toward ethical and unethical alternatives. After committing to a decision, people may experience positive feelings derived from ethical behavior (Dzuranin, Shortridge, & Smith, ) or guilt and shame as a result of acting unethically (Eisenberg, ). Integrating games in ethics education, such as the lucky draw described in the present study, may provide direct experience that would otherwise be unavailable through theory or case studies.…”

Business Ethics: A Eur Rev

Trust has traditionally been regarded as conducive to ethical decision making. However, empirical studies on the relationship between trust and ethical decision making are rare, especially those concerning the negative effects of trust. Therefore, our study aimed to provide empirical evidence in this area. An experiment was designed to investigate whether trusted parties are more likely than non-trusted parties to enter into a collusion that will have unfair consequences for a third party. The results showed that trusted parties are significantly more likely to collude than are nontrusted parties. Furthermore, an ancillary analysis revealed the mechanism of trust. First, participants with a stronger need to collude were the most likely to collude in the trust group. Second, experimental and hypothetical settings generated different results, and we suspect that real harm plays a vital role. Overall, we conclude that the absence of trust serves as an impediment to collusion.
