I had a similar course in grad school - but we spent a lot of time dealing
with specific cases of fraud, embezzlement, etc.   I don't think that course
would fit Nancy's needs.  

Perhaps if you wanted to do a session on values, there would be much more
material available.   Check out Google.com or dogpile.com and type in
"teaching values".   Good to Teaching Values in School or click on the the
hyperlink below.

http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/iie/v13n1/interview.html

Then, go to the column on the left and click on 'public policy ethics"  it
will produce a long list of articles on ethical decisions and perhaps give
you a few hints about situations you could present for folks to solve.
E.g., whistleblowers.

Good luck.

I took an entire course in college in Business Ethics through the Philosophy
Department.  It covered a number of issues similar to what you described.
Business Ethics cover not only what the media is hot on, malfeasance, but
the ethical obligation to all constituents, employees (both up and down the
food chain), customers and ownership.

I wish the original correspondent good luck in trying to condense all this
into a training session.

Business EthicsNot sure what your searching for but within the confines of
ethics a frame-work has to be incorporated with regards to checks and
balance...  Either intentional or not intentional the degree of the impact
for missing something can have an enormous impact....  Our federal
government payed out in excess of $19B in over payment to creditors.....This
was not intentional.....  But becasue the proper checks and balance are
missing tax payers carry or eat this tab.....  Now i have issues with saying
someone ethics are questionable pertaining to this isolated event....

  I am planning a conference for our Internal Audit Department. One of the
topics of the conference will be business ethics. I am specifically looking
for improv games related to that topic. While I have found several books,
websites and other references related to team building skills group
exercises I have been unsuccessful to find anything specific to business
ethics. Does anyone have any group exercises / improv games that they could
send to me or direct me as to a specific book or website?
