Nonprofit Organization

Nonprofit leaders have an opportunity to foster the ethical culture within their organizations through in-service training and education. However, ethics education is not limited to in-service organizational training. College programs are beginning to implement ethics education into the curricula across many disciplines. The basic ethical principles learned in business education can be applied to the same types of ethical decision making within nonprofit organizations.

Ethics Education

The goal of implementing ethics education in business schools is to produce students that not only know how to make good business decisions, but also know how to make ethical business decisions. Ethics education in academia should develop students that know how to make ethical decisions, behave ethically, and have the strength to do the right thing (Cooper, 2000).

Business ethics education at the academic level should provide students with tools to guide them through ethical decisions in for-profit business or if they choose a career in the nonprofit sector. This can be accomplished through discussions about ethical dilemmas, ethical behavior, decisions and reasoning.
