The Business Ethics Workshop v 1.0

On a good day in the business ethics classroom discussion charges forward; students have read the assigned case study, they’re engaged by the conflict and want to work through it. Then, there’s a bad day: students didn’t bother to do the reading and the hour sags listlessly. The key to going the first way is case studies that students want to read, and The Business Ethics Workshop by James Brusseau provides them with reality and engagement. Reality: No stilted and contrived stories about Steve Smith and Jane Jones. Excerpts from blogs and newspapers bring the weight—and provocation—of the world as it’s actually happening to the classroom.

Business Ethik 3.0: Die neue integrale Ethik aus der Sicht eines CEOs

Prof. Dr. Erhard Meyer-Galow will mit seiner integralen Business Ethik 3.0 zu einem dringend nötigen Umdenken und Handeln anregen. Dabei geht es ihm nicht um Schadensbegrenzung und Kompromisslösungen. Er packt das Problem an der Wurzel, wo es jeden von uns betrifft, nämlich einer zunehmenden Ichbesessenheit, die weder nötig noch tolerierbar ist. Ursache dieser Fehlverhaltensweisen ist hauptsächlich die Angst vor dem Versagen. Daraus resultiert ein Mangel an Achtsamkeit, Mitgefühl, Empathie, Kongruenz und Zuverlässigkeit.Ein erfahrener CEO spricht Klartext über den Mangel an Moral in unserer Wirtschaft und legt ein Konzept für eine neue tragfähige Ethik vor, das über alle bisherigen Versuche hinausgeht. Die International Humanistic Management Association hat Prof. Dr. Erhard Meyer-Galow für sein Buch Business Ethics 3.0-The New Integral Ethics from the Perspective of a CEO als Finalist des Book Awards 2018 (Practice) ausgezeichnet.
