This doesn't seem good for the future of corporate America:
Graduate business students in the United States and Canada are more likely to cheat on their work than their counterparts in other academic fields, the author of a research paper said on Wednesday.
The study of 5,300 graduate students in the United States and Canada found that 56 percent of graduate business students admitted to cheating in the past year, with many saying they cheated because they believed it was an accepted practice in business.
Everyone cheats on something once in a while. But when it comes to being "basically honest" or not, most of what I've read on the subject suggests that about 80 percent of people generally are. Will these cheaters eventually mellow into "occasional cheaters" or are our values drastically changing? Interestingly, the best of the bunch -- social science and humanities students -- still had 39 percent who cheated.
