Special Issue: "Teaching Business Ethics: Expectations and Disappointments"
Call for Papers
In light of the recent global financial crisis and the continued financial, environmental and social uncertainties reverberating throughout the world, serious questions have been raised about the contribution of business to the crisis. The activities and decisions made by business leaders are being scrutinised for their global impact and expectations for business leaders to behave ethically have increased substantially. Although many of the business superstars such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zukerburg have not had a university education, attention has been turned on business educators to increase the moral rigour of their courses and broaden the scope of their teaching of ethics and values in business schools throughout the world.
In this context, an exploration of the responses of business ethics educators to this challenge is timely and necessary.
We invite contributions to this special issue of the Journal of Business Ethics Education that discuss the expectations and disappointments experienced in teaching business ethics in the last five years.
We are particularly interested in papers that address the following questions:
· Taking into account recent changes in the practice of business, what and how should we teach ethics to business students?
· How has the global financial crisis influenced the teaching of business ethics in universities and elsewhere?
· How should we approach ethics in a business programme?
· What do we mean by 'teaching business ethics' at all?
· Should business educators be held responsible for the moral and ethical failures of business and governments?
· What should be the contribution of business educators to the prevailing public debates and social movements?
