چکیده
Ethical and moral behaviour in business and society has come into much greater prominence at the beginning of the 21 century. More specifically, the ever increasing use of information and communications technologies (ICT) has raised a wide variety of ethical issues specific to these technologies.

It demonstrates that such a course can be delivered effectively with a high level of student engagement, and produces changes in student awareness and attitudes, despite their limited workplace experience.
