Abstract	Aus Perspektive der Unternehmenspraxis analysiert der vorliegende Beitrag, welche Ziele eine unternehmensethische Ausbildung im Rahmen des BWL Studiums verfolgen sollte. Hierzu werden drei zentrale Themenfelder skizziert, in denen Studierenden Wissen zu vermitteln und deren Kompetenzen zu fördern sind. Erstens sollten Betriebswirte sich der ethischen Grundlagen marktwirtschaftlicher Systeme bewusst sein. Diese zu kennen ist auch Grundvoraussetzung für eine aktivere Teilnahme an öffentlichen Debatten um wirtschafts- und unternehmensethische Fragestellungen. Zweitens sollten Betriebswirte mit zentralen Aspekten ethisch relevanter Regeln in Unternehmen vertraut sein. Hierzu zählen insbesondere Codes of Conduct, deren Einflussgrößen und Wirkungsweisen noch nicht ausreichend bekannt sind und die daher weiter Gegenstand der Forschung sein sollten. Drittens schließlich wäre wünschenswert, dass BWL Absolventen im Studium besser befähigt werden, bestehende Praktiken fortzuentwickeln und somit letztlich zu einer Verbesserung der Unternehmenspraxis beizutragen.Arguing from a practitioner’s point of view, this article analyzes objectives of business ethics education. To this aim, it identifies three main areas in which students should be helped to develop their skills and knowledge. First, future managers should be conscious of the ethical legitimacy of market economies. This would also enable them to participate more actively in public debates on business ethics issues. Second, business students should get acquainted with crucial aspects of ethical rules and standards within organizations. This particularly refers to codes of conduct. The determinants and effectiveness of such instruments are not well enough understood, yet, and could thus be more subject to scientific research. Third, it would be desirable that management students learn already during their studies how they can help improve existing business practices once they themselves become practitioners.
