Creativity and morality in business education: Toward a trans-disciplinary approach

This paper provides an overview of some recurring and disturbing concerns regarding business education, most specifically business ethics. Prominent scholars such as Mitroff, Alpaslan, Goshal, Mintzberg, Senge, Giacalone, and others have repeatedly expressed their aversion to the way business education is implemented, and the direction it has taken in recent decades. Specifically, the paper will focus on four major areas of concern, followed by a suggestion of eight trans-disciplinary approaches that are not only realistic, engaging, and appealing, but that also prepare future business performers better for upcoming moral challenges, and shape their minds toward constructive and community-advancing, rather than self-centred, problem solving.
