I knew someone who taught Marketing at a business school and we had some really weird discussions. They do teach students not to be assholes. They do teach ethics. They do teach respect for the viewer. But what they teach for Marketing is very different from what we experience from Marketing.
From my experiences it goes more like this "In an ideal world, we'd behave this way. We're not in an ideal world though and your competitors have no problem doing this so you should know what to do, in case the market determines it's the best course." with a knowing wink thrown in.
No plan or ethical framework survives contact with the shareholders.
