Ethics in the Business Environment
It seems that a lot more companies are stressing ethics within their companies. This is not surprising since the general public has been losing faith in large companies since Enron. I see this as a wise investment for companies if they want the public to have a positive image of their company. There are a lot of different methods for this type of training, such as classroom or internet. I think any kind of training of a matter this serious is best done face-to-face. I believe the message is accepted and understood better that way. That being said, I know companies are very large and spread out in some cases, and that internet training is the only way it can be done. I do not think that all this training is necessary. If companies were less focused on fooling the public, and a little more ethicsto begin with, they would not have to waste their money.

Nick, I understand what you are saying about ethics, but I dont really think that focusing less on training is a good option. Training is what sets the pace for employees. I think that the more training the better. This way I would know for sure that in the long run, the new employees are doing what they need to do. I do think that ethics are very important, but not important enough to lose focus on employee training.
