Can Ethics be Taught?

"Can Ethics Be Taught?" traces the evolution, strategy, and implementation of the pathbreaking Leadership, Ethics, and Corporate Responsibility Programme at the Harvard Business School. It describes in detail the origins of the initiative for this programme, the research that went into the approach, timing, and appropriate interventions for working with students and faculty, as well as the design of the programme strategy itself. The accomplishments of this programme have been substantial: a required course has been introduced into the curriculum; four new electives have been added; course heads have begun to integrate issues of ethics and corporate responsibility into the first year curriculum; and a large percentage of students have enriched the life of the community, and their own lives, through public service.
