Abstract

In 1988 theJournal of Business Ethicspublished a paper by David Mathison entitled “Business Ethics Cases and Decision Models: A Call for Relevancy in the Classroom”. Mathison argued that the present methods of teaching business ethics may be inappropriate for MBA students. He believes that faculty are teaching at one decision-making level and that students are and will be functioning on another (lower) level. The purpose of this paper is to respond to Mathison's arguments and offer support for the present methods and materials used to teach Master level ethics classes. The support includes suggested class discussion ideas and assignments.
