The complexity of modern business requires a climate where virtue flourishes as opposed to venality, careerism and greed. Through theological and religious studies and opportunities for spiritual development, Jesuit business education helps its graduates (regardless of their religious or non-religious tradition) develop an ethical and spiritual inner compass. It directs them toward cooperation with all persons of good will committed to (trans)forming business in a manner consistent with human purpose and dignity. At the same time, the Jesuit trained leader is forewarned of the reality of human imperfections and social distortions evident in business history. The Jesuit perspective shares with the student a commitment to progress in hope. It rejects any utopian model of human or institutional perfection through an understanding that business institutions and economies are created by human beings and must be changed by human beings. As part of their understanding of calling graduates are prepared for self-sacrifice in order to help secure justice for all in every sphere that business touches.

El libro “Mis valores adultos” del padre Gallo Armosino, S. J. menciona que todo hombre vive con valores. Pero ¿Cuáles son esos valores? ¿Qué escala de valores rigen su vida? El ensayo que se estudiará y reflexionará a continuación nos mostrará cuatro valores: la dignidad, la libertad, la responsabilidad y el servicio, éstos desde una visión que evoca nuestra adultez y madurez. A través de estos cuatro valores que se entrelazan, se abre la posibilidad de investigar los demás valores, para que desde mi “yo” personal, los valores puedan comprenderse con mayor profundidad a partir de la experiencia y en conexión con el mundo “vivir e irradiar, en el aula y fuera del aula, los valores”.

“What are the signs that a company is getting it right and addressing the most important dimensions of managing ethics in an organization?” That was the question Kirk O. Hanson, executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, addressed at a recent meeting of the Business and Organizational Ethics Partnership. Hanson built his talk on a model he devised in 1984 and has revised over the years. “We have a lot of things to draw on that we didn’t back in 1984,” he said. There has been a lot of discussion in recent years about what the signs are that a company is taking ethics seriously.
