This paper investigates the nature of, motivation and commitment to, ethics tuition provided by the business schools. Using content analysis of their institutional and home websites, we appraise their corporate identity, level of engagement in socially responsible programmes, degree of social inclusion, and the relationship to their ethics teaching.

The problem, they say, lies in the message that is being subsidized by management: that individual workers are responsible for their own destinies, and that the way to achieve security and serenity is through continual self-improvement. For a big corporation that is mowing down whole suitefuls of middle managers, critics say, this can be a handy way to get employees to start thinking that if they are laid off, the fault lies somewhere in themselves. "If the individual worker is made to feel the responsibility for his or her condition, the social contract is no longer there.

xxx/ellauri442.html on line 56: Johdon filosofian rattaana pitää olla hauska ja helposti ymmärrettävä kuten esim. Emerson, Thoreau, Barthes, Kundera.  Certainly Dostoevsky and Tolstoy command primary attention as does Shakespeare (in the sense of Lakoff & Johnson). Fun new words and concepts, of course, are at the core of philosophy (as stressed by Deleuze & Guattari among others) and it is clear that philosophy for managers cannot be content with the stingy discourse of academic philosophy only.
