Description
Summary:This article contains seven exercises I have used in my Business Ethics classes. A central aim of the class is to clarify the values which guide ethical consideration and use these to evaluate a range of business activities. The value of these exercises lies in their ability to connect the personal to the economic and political and in so-doing, to clarify what it might mean to personally lead an ethical life as a more aware business person, consumer and citizen. The discussions these exercises facilitate can, in the hands of a competent teacher, be both broad ranging and profound. Their ability to connect the larger economic world to ones own personal world of values have been greatly appreciated by my own students and they are offered here in the hope that they might be of some value to others in the field.
