Welcoming another CMD instrument - the MES: but don't throw out the MJI or DIT just yet!

Article Abstract:

D.P. Robin and others' presentation of the Multidimensional Ethics Scale (MES) as an advanced cognitive moral reasoning instrument needs critical analysis. Their claim of substituting the MES for cognitive moral development instruments, such as the Defining Issues Test, is undermined by theoretical inconsistencies in the development and usage of the MES instrument. The instruments are designed to serve diverse aims in moral reasoning and cannot be substituted one for the other. The lack of an explicit normative dimension in the development of the MES is a cause for concern in ethics research.

Drama: a tool for teaching business ethics

Article Abstract:

Drama is more useful than novels in attempting to inculcate moral and ethical values in business because they more sharply address the interactions between characters and the reader becomes more involved in their situations. Plays such as 'An Enemy of the People' by Henrik Ibsen and 'Death of a Salesman' by Arthur Miller have intense plots and characters and allow the reader to observe a wide range of motives, traits and emotions. This approach to teaching business ethics enhances the ability to relate to the complex ethical issues in business
