Abstract

One of the most important tenets of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is to provide students with tools to fight corruption. The emphasis on anticorruption education stems from the reality that business students are highly likely to encounter corrupt behavior in their careers. For that reason, research related to corruption has proliferated in several disciplines, such as history, law, psychology, political science, economics, and business administration. Concurrently, scholars and practitioners have recently developed tools to help future business leaders combat corruption. One of the most promising tools to combat corruption is blockchain. However, blockchain alone is not adequate to create a robust anticorruption program. For this reason, in this chapter, I outline how business schools should approach the teaching of blockchain technologies to increase their effectiveness in combating corruption in the private sector.
