On the first two days of December, 2007, the National Symposium on MBA Business Ethics Education was held at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It was the first conference of its kind in the 21st century (i.e., for the past eight years). The Symposium was kindly supported by business schools around the country, and attended by more than 70 scholars from about 60 institutions, including Peking University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China, Xi’an Jiao Tong University, Nankai University, Sun Yat-
Sen University, Xiamen University, Tongji University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, among others. During the one-and-a-half-day period, participants vigorously discussed a wide array of subjects, such as the objectives, substance,
and methods of business ethics education, their own teaching practices, and current problems and suggestions for future development. In my article, I provide an overview of China’s business ethics education from six angles, based on ideas exchanged at the conference and my own understanding and practices. JBEE invited five scholars to write about China’s business ethics education, so that colleagues around the globe may get a better understanding of where we are. All are active, experienced, thoughtful teachers in business ethics in Chinese business schools. At the same time, the six most influential Chinese textbooks were also selected, and six professors invited to review them. It is our hope that through these articles and reviews, the international community will gain a better understanding of China’s business ethics education, which will in turn encourage the international exchange and development of business ethics education in China.
