The Keynote of Business Ethics Education : The Process and Rtythm (In Commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of the Faculty of Business Administration)

My paper will develop the argument that the education of business ethics may be difficult; however, it is necessary and quite possible. The educational modes and conditions are studied from the perspective of ‘educational process and rhythm’. This educational process develops from the ‘problem discovery phase’ to the ‘problem understanding phase’ and further on, to the ‘problem-solving phase’. However, this is not a simple direct process as each phase has three sub-phases and these processes may be periodically repeated. These repeated processes connect each phase with this ‘rhythm’ and combinations of different balances of ‘transmission of knowledge’ (education of knowledge) and ‘awakening through dialogue’ (education of dialogue) to develop this process of education. This paper take into consideration the three development phases and combinations of different balances and attempts to plot the details along with education methods of business ethics. But, the so-called ‘methods of education’ themselves is abbreviated here because it is beyond the scope of my paper. However, the following is worth a mention in passing. Regarding business ethics education, education by case method is particularly effective. However, each of the three phases and combinations of different of ‘transmission of knowledge’ and ‘stimulation through dialogue’ must be plotted and implemented. Moreover, we are conscious of those combinations themselves, and need to creating ‘the process and rhythm’ of the education. If the ‘awakening through dialogue’ method is simply understood as a case method, the effectiveness of education cannot be anticipated.8KJ00000155027論文Articledepartmental bulletin pape
