| MBA students study business ethics. In fact, there are | | | | that nothing is really being done. That is to say the |
| now MBA degrees available that are called Ethics | | | | problem is running rampant still.Simply instituting controls |
| MBAs. But in the real world how ethical is the business | | | | and checks and balances on government credit cards |
| community? How ethical is our own government?How | | | | does not alleviate the fraud. Dishonesty in government |
