Abstract
The article discusses cheating in U.S. business schools, which is said to be a widespread and growing problem. Business students cheat more than non-business students. Research into why cheating is so prevalent in business schools reveals a lack of perceived certainty of being caught and reported for cheating, a lack of perceived severity of penalties, a lack of understanding and acceptance of campus academic integrity policies, and a perception that peers are cheating. Perceived peer behavior may have the strongest influence. The influence of peer behavior on observer behavior is discussed in terms of social identity theory and social comparison theory.
