This paper is concerned with the network approach as a background for ethical considerations covered in ethics courses in business schools of higher education. Different levels of recognizing business ethics processes are presented based on Thaft and White’s (2007) concept. Moreover, authors illustrate some useful educational practices that, when incorporated in curricula, may potentially enhance the educational process in the business ethics field.

W artykule zaprezentowano podejście sieciowe, jako tło dla rozważań etycznych podejmowanych w ramach zajęć dydaktycznych z zakresu etyki, prowadzonych w wyższych szkołach biznesu. Przedstawiono różne perspektywy (poziomy) postrzegania procesów etyki biznesu, opierając się na koncepcji Thafta i White’a (2007). Ponadto, autorki wskazują kilka przydatnych praktyk, których wdrożenie do programów nauczania potencjalnie stwarza możliwości doskonalenia procesu kształcenia w obszarze etyki biznesu.
