    surprising number of employees in large companies report feeling 
    pressure to “do the wrong thing.” One out of eight workers reported 
    that their co-workers or managers somehow pressured them to do 
    something against the company’s ethical standards. Such internal corruption has 
    led several large companies into difficulty and even complete failure. 
    When a large corporation fails due to corruption, a 
    clear message is sent to the public. That message is 
    “unethical behavior will get you in trouble.” It appears 
    more students are getting this message as enrollment in 
    Business Ethics courses is rising. Interestingly, however, 
    very few MBA programs in North America require 
    students to take any Business Ethics courses. For this reason, the international 
    organization called Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is actively working to 
    train young businesspeople to make ethical business decisions. 
    SIFE works through teams of university students who volunteer their time 
    to work in training courses and to develop projects. These teams can be found 
    on more than 1,500 campuses in thirty-seven countries around the world. The 
    organization is supported by faculty advisors on these campuses, and many 
    international corporations take part in events organized by SIFE.
    Each year, the teams from each university write an annual report of their 
    activities and give a presentation in a competition where the best team is awarded 
    the SIFE World Cup.
