This article offers a background of ethical theory and practice that has led the authors to develop a new game as an aid to teaching business ethics. The literature on teaching business ethics points out the dearth of work on integrity in business. This article argues that it is integrity that is at the heart of business ethics and that there is a clear need for a game that helps instructors reach that very slippery concept.
