is to stamp out corporate scandal, business schools need to include business ethics
as part of the core curriculum," says Baroness Howe of Idlicote. In

Business Ethics, Baroness Howe, Vice-President of the Institute of Business Ethics,
congratulated the Institute of Business Ethics (IBE) and the European Business
Ethics Network (EBEN-UK) on sponsoring an essay competition to encourage student

the business community of the future. Essay Competition
