Designing and Delivering Business Ethics Teaching and Learning

Though no agreement exists among business schools and their faculties regarding what should be the content and pedagogy of a course in business ethic, the authors of this article hold that regardless of one’s biases regarding the content and pedagogy, the effective
teaching of business ethics requires that the instructor in designing and delivering a business ethics course needs to focus on four principal questions. These include: (1) what are the objectives or targeted learning outcomes of the course? (2) what kind of learning environment should be created? (3) what learning processes need to be employed to achieve the goals? and (4) what are the roles of the participants in the learning experience? The answers to these questions provide the foundations for any business ethics course.
