Dichotomies in Teaching, Application, and Ethics

Abstract

In this article, the authors propose a move from the old control model of teaching, managing, and leading based on stability and power to a new enterprise model based on speed and constant self-innovation. They hope to promote the practice of a rapid incremental innovation strategy that produces practitioners and educators dedicated to continuous improvement and ethical behavior. Specifically, their aim is to help (a) improve undergraduate and graduate business programs while stressing ethics and values; (b) provide a forum for thought about how to teach using a student-centered, discussion-based approach, often called case teaching or problem-based learning; (c) provide information to organizational entities for use in changing or establishing training for and evaluation of excellence; and (d) improve organizations by supplying them with better leaders, managers, and teachers for the future.
