Giacalone, Temple University and Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Louisiana
State University Toward Assessing Business Ethics Education, edited
by Diane L. Swanson and Dann G. Fisher of Kansas State University,
is a sequel to their book Advancing Business Ethics Education in
the Ethics in Practice IAP book series. The focus on assessment in
this second book is a timely response to the urgent search among
business schools for ways to teach and assess ethics at a time when
the public's faith in corporations and business schools has been
undermined greatly by the failure of both to respond to widespread
corruption and scandals in the business sector. Although no one
expects business education alone to resolve these problems, the
distinguished scholars represented in this book advocate that
business schools should at least do their part by exposing their
students to decision models that incorporate ethical dimensions on
behalf of corporate stakeholders and society at large. As the
book's title conveys, it is then important to assess key learning
objectives to insure that business students graduate knowing ethics
fundamentals and armed with the ability to recognize ethical
dilemmas and possible solutions during the course of their careers.
This book will speak to all who are interested in accountability
for business ethics education, especially business school deans,
university administrators, faculty members, students, and
prospective employers. This audience will find that the enterprise
of assessing business ethics education is advanced in three ways.
First, the book functions as a venue for distinguished scholars to
share the innovative ways that they are assessing ethics coverage
in courses and degree programs. Second, these authors identify what
needs to be assessed and the means for doing so. Third, the book
serves not only as a guide to assessment, but also as a platform
for expanding and improving ethics coverage in business schools.
Moreover, an important take away for readers is the provision of a
simple formula, first advocated by Diane L. Swanson and William C.
Frederick (University of Pittsburgh) in 2005, for delivering ethics
education that minimizes assessment errors. By following this
formula, business schools can provide assurances that ethics will
not be assessed as being sufficient when it is woefully inadequate
or even missing in the curriculum and that it cannot be distorted,
diluted, or trivialized by uninformed coverage and still pass
inspection. Avoiding these assessment errors is critical in an
educational environment in which weak accrediting standards for
ethics go hand in hand with spotty, uniformed coverage that would
not be tolerated for other business disciplines.
A volume in Ethics in Practice Series Editors Robert A. Giacalone,
Temple University and Carole L. Jurkiewicz, Louisiana State
University This book features sixteen chapters written by
distinguished scholars who collectively point to a roadmap for
advancing business ethics education at a critical juncture in the
history of corporate America. The editors frame the book with an
introductory chapter that details a gold standard for delivering
ethics in the business school curriculum that signals to students
that ethics matters, provides an adequate counterbalance to the
amoral subtext that dominates much of business education, remedies
assessment problems associated with current accrediting standards,
and prepares students for newly minted and fast-growing careers in
ethics compliance, risk management, and corporate social
responsibility. The chapters that follow lay out some challenges
and opportunities that administrators and educators need to address
in order to improve business ethics education and business school
reputations in a post-Enron climate.Both traditional and
experimental perspectives on delivering ethics in the curriculum
are covered in conjunction with research that substantiates the
potential for improving student ethics competencies after exposure
to ethics coursework. Methods for incorporating ethics in various
subjects, including accounting, corporate governance,
environmentalism, global business, managerial decision making, and
human resource management are also given as part of the roadmap for
advancing business ethics education.
