Current Events Periodicals and Business Ethics

  • Published:
Teaching Business Ethics

Abstract

This essay argues that the use of current events periodicals may be of great use in the management and business ethics classroom. The advantages include, but are not limited to, (1) the demonstration of the relevance of often highly theoretical class material, (2) an opportunity to apply theory and thus demonstrate understanding and internalization of the theory, (3) the provision of concrete examples as points of reference for materials, and (4) the development and reinforcement of the vital habit of reading periodicals and keeping up with business events.
