| Tiivistelmä: | It is argued that business students early on should be offered a course presenting and analyzing ethical dilemmas they will face as human beings both in the business world and in society. Such a course should use literature, plays, and novels to illustrate ethical norms and values in the intertwined relationships of human activities. Literature offers portraits of characters as leaders, employees, consultants and other professionals as ordinary human beings with conflicting desires, drives and ambitions. This article suggests that literary texts offer excellent descriptions of the circumstances or the organizational settings in which people find themselves. This pedagogical method linking ethics and literature may help to critically expose some of the weak or missing aspects of various management theories students encounter. |
