Abstract

Ethics in Business, defined as the sum of those entrepreneurial good practices carried out in modern organizations, plays a key role in a globalized planet. Universities are also affected by ethical governance and ethics. The objective of this work is to analyze which entrepreneurial skills are necessary to have for achieving sustainable growth in higher education. To do this, the chapter begins with the study of how technology in education can serve as a practical instrument for internalizing these organizational skills into learners. Then, the author continues describing ethics-related topics, such as how transformational leadership can guide organizations, the importance of resilience and its relation with social capital, and the importance of emotions and empathy in organizations. After this, a theoretical ethical model based on entrepreneurial skills and higher education is proposed that is sustained on openness to change, self-transcendence, self-enhancement, and conservation. The chapter ends with some conclusions and with several future research directions.
