Book Description
The main objective of this paper is to identify relevant factors that influence ethics in the MBA curriculum. We attempt to uncover a selection of factors that are likely to determine how ethics-related debates are delivered within the MBA curriculum. Our analysis includes reflections on four key issues. First, we ask whether the geographic location of a school influences the way ethics is anchored in MBA programs. While there is much research and debate on ethics education in US-based MBA programs and to a more limited extent also on European institutions, a comparative analysis between these two regions is missing with a focus on sustainability courses in undergraduate and graduate programs). Second, we study the influence of a school's position in a ranking on ethics education. Our analysis looks at differences between globally ranked top schools (according to the 2009 Financial Times Global MBA Top 100 ranking) and non-ranked institutions in the way they approach ethics education. Third, we study the effects of program length on how ethics-related debates are delivered. We analyse differences in ethics education between short (up to 18 months) and longer (over 18 months) MBA programs to examine whether program duration has an impact on the availability of relevant courses. Finally, we explore the effects of participation in the United Nations (UN)-backed Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) on ethics education. Studying such effects can provide answers to questions about the efficacy of schools' public self-commitments in the context of ethics education.

Toward Assessing Business Ethics Education
Author: Diane L. Swanson
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1617351644
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
Toward Assessing Business Ethics Education, edited by Diane L. Swanson and Dann G. Fisher of Kansas State University, is a sequel to their book Advancing Business Ethics Education in the Ethics in Practice IAP book series. The focus on assessment in this second book is a timely response to the urgent search among business schools for ways to teach and assess ethics at a time when the public’s faith in corporations and business schools has been undermined greatly by the failure of both to respond to widespread corruption and scandals in the business sector. Although no one expects business education alone to resolve these problems, the distinguished scholars represented in this book advocate that business schools should at least do their part by exposing their students to decision models that incorporate ethical dimensions on behalf of corporate stakeholders and society at large. As the book’s title conveys, it is then important to assess key learning objectives to insure that business students graduate knowing ethics fundamentals and armed with the ability to recognize ethical dilemmas and possible solutions during the course of their careers. This book will speak to all who are interested in accountability for business ethics education, especially business school deans, university administrators, faculty members, students, and prospective employers. This audience will find that the enterprise of assessing business ethics education is advanced in three ways. First, the book functions as a venue for distinguished scholars to share the innovative ways that they are assessing ethics coverage in courses and degree programs. Second, these authors identify what needs to be assessed and the means for doing so. Third, the book serves not only as a guide to assessment, but also as a platform for expanding and improving ethics coverage in business schools. Moreover, an important take away for readers is the provision of a simple formula, first advocated by Diane L. Swanson and William C. Frederick (University of Pittsburgh) in 2005, for delivering ethics education that minimizes assessment errors. By following this formula, business schools can provide assurances that ethics will not be assessed as being sufficient when it is woefully inadequate or even missing in the curriculum and that it cannot be distorted, diluted, or trivialized by uninformed coverage and still pass inspection. Avoiding these assessment errors is critical in an educational environment in which weak accrediting standards for ethics go hand in hand with spotty, uniformed coverage that would not be tolerated for other business disciplines.

Ethics Education of Business Leaders
Author: Tom E. Culham
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1623963486
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Events on Wall Street and Main Street reveal that some business leaders make dramatically unethical self-serving decisions that ignore the public interest. How can business schools educate future business leaders to make ethical decisions? Unfortunately, most business schools fail in teaching ethical decision-making. They erroneously assume that such decision-making is primarily conscious and reason-based, reflecting the western cultural orientation toward science and logic. In this book, Thomas Culham cites neurological findings showing that unconscious processes and emotions play a much more significant role than reason in making ethical decisions. Culham urges business schools to teach a modified form of emotional intelligence, linked with research-supported contemplative practices from the great meditative traditions. This book details the author's ethics curriculum and explains its successful application at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia. This fascinating, interdisciplinary, and highly practical curriculum integrates philosophy (virtue ethics), Daoist thinking, psychology, and neuroscience. This curriculum intends to transform the way business schools teach decision making. Such an effort might just transform the way we do business.
