Abstract

Taiwan’s enviable routine ended in mid-May 2021 when an outbreak of COVID-19 transmission upended everyday life. Over the next two months, the whole of Taiwan has been grappling with the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic in businesses, employees, customers, communities, and the summer internship program. The main objective was to assess whether there is an impact on summer interns and how the company and interns adopted during the internships. A case study combined two surveys to examine internships at an (AACSB) accredited business school at Kun-Shan Technology university in Taiwan, one taken before the training and one after. The paper also analysed reflecti0n reports. The findings revealed the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on making interns aware and sensitive to business ethics in enterprises. As a result, interns may make business decisions with a comprehensive understanding of their impact on stakeholders and society.
