Title: | Business ethics: sunday ethic — monday world. 2nd ed. | Authors: | Ted Batson and Blake J. Neff. | Keywords: | Ethics. | Issue Date: | 2001 | Publisher: | Triangle Publishing | Abstract: | One by-product of the Industrial Revolution has been the compartmentalization of knowledge. Compartmentalization—the separation of ideas or processes into isolated categories1—has proven efficient in the manufacturing world, but it often leads to the acceptance of false ideas in the academic world. For example, universities have long attempted to train students to be ethical decision makers. Under a compartmentalized system of thought, students are taught ethical philosophies and theories, managerial strategies, and accountability procedures as if they were independent and somewhat unrelated elements in the business process. But anyone working in the “real world” knows that these elements of decision making are inseparable. A decision in one area will affect all the other areas in some way. In an effort to overcome the artificial barriers of compartmentalization, this book teaches ethical principles intertwined with the five basic managerial functions. Based on integrated instruction in basic ethics and managerial knowledge, it uses a case study approach to stimulate students’ analytical skills. Most of the case examples are drawn from real-life experiences, and all interviews are with owners and/or managers who have demonstrated managerial success and ethical decision making in the small-business world. Names and selected occupations have been changed to protect the participants’ privacy. | URI: | http://dspace.uniten.edu.my/jspui/handle/123456789/15769 |
