Implications for Teaching Business Ethics

Abstract

In this concluding chapter, an overview is given of the core components that should be addressed in business ethics education, in order to both deal with the fundamental problems that characterise our times, as well as to promote the future viability of business ethics. The analysis of these core components is based on the complexity and Derridean insights presented in the foregoing chapters, and the aim of the analysis is to unpack teaching strategies that can equip students with the sense-making tools and tools of analysis needed to reflect upon the normative dimensions of complex business challenges. Since these challenges are context-dependent, the analysis does not provide examples of specific pedagogical interventions, because these interventions must be forged within specific environments. The suggestions made in this chapter therefore stand prior to any particular teaching guide or curriculum.
