Discussion: View Thread

Dear SIMians:

In conjunction with the 2017 AOM's interface theme, several SIM members are in the process of collecting teaching  exercises and activities that can be shared with all SIM members that addresses the following question: How do faculty in higher education, and those engaged in professional workshops and other consulting experiences, create space for discussions about the interface between organizational performance/profitability and ethics? By "creating space" we mean using exercises and activities that foster moral reflection and awareness.

If you have teaching exercises and activities that you willing to share with other members, please (1) describe them in one or two sentences in the box below, and (2) attach any relevant handouts regarding that activity. You may submit multiple exercises and activities. Please send your response to dcollins@edgewood.edu. We hope to provide these examples on the SIM website or some other appropriate location.

In addition, we invite you to our Panel Symposium: Creating Interface Space for Ethics Training and Moral Development in a Profit Driven System at the AOM meeting in Atlanta. Session #755 will meet Sunday, Aug 6 2017, 3:45PM - 5:15PM, Hyatt Regency Atlanta, Lenox. Panel members include: Brad Agle, Brigham Young University, Anke Arnaud, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Denis Collins, Edgewood College, John French, Johnny Rockets Group Franchisee and President of Hard Problem Consulting

We will share specific ethics and moral development exercises and activities panel members use to engage students and employees operating within a profit and performance driven system.

Kind regards, 

Denis Collins and Anke Arnaud 

Dear SIMians:

Wouldn't it be great if there was one location where SIM and Business Ethics professors could share their favorite class and workshop activities? Well, the time has come to create one!

On behalf of the SIM governance board, an SIM subcommittee (Anke Arnaud & Denis Collins) is currently collecting "social issues in management" and "business ethics" teaching  exercises or activities that others can access on the SIM website (http://sim.aomonline.org/) and use in the classroom or for workshops.  What types of exercises and activities do you use that encourage students to reflect on social issues and business ethics within our profit and performance driven social and economic systems?

If you have teaching exercises and/or activities that you are willing to share with other members, please (1) describe them in the box below, and (2) if possible, attach the assignment or directions (either as a Word document or PDF). You may submit multiple exercises and activities.

Please send your response to dcollins@edgewood.edu. We will accept these at any time, but for sake of efficiency would prefer if you email them by September 11. This email is a follow-up to a similar email request sent prior to the conference, so if you already sent us something there is no need to send it again.

Thanks. 

A sample explanation summary appears below and activity directions handout is attached.

Best regards, 

Denis Collins and Anke Arnaud
