Abstract

Although many scholars and practitioners acknowledge business ethics education to be an important priority for business schools, they criticize the current approach to teaching business ethics at many schools as ineffective. This article introduces a new integrative model for teaching business ethics that integrates key elements of Bloom’s Taxonomy, Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning, and Transformational Learning. Research briefly describes the current status of business ethics education and identifies nine elements of the proposed model of Transformative Learning. The identified propositions allow business faculty to use them to assess the application of Transformative Learning on business ethics education.
