Paper Published in FT50 Journal

Have managed to get published in one of the top journals in the management field — Journal of Business Ethics (list maintained by Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/3405a512-5cbb-11e1-8f1f-00144feabdc0).

Neither is business ethics my core focus, nor is development of pedagogical tools my expertise area. However, both the areas are closely intertwined with what a business management educator does. Hence, I am proud (and extremely proud) of the publication ” Integrated Live Case: A Contemporary approach of Business Ethics Pedagogy.”

What we do here is quite comprehensive and interesting! We survey business ethics pedagogy literature to identify what they have to say about teaching business ethics (408 papers reviewed). With this we develop a framework that we call the “ACD framework” (Approach, Content, and Delivery). This comprehensively identifies the different aspects of business ethics pedagogy, in the form of six binaries — two in each of the ACD elements — Approach (Theory or Realworld Connectedness), Content (Depth or Breadth), and Delivery (Traditional or Innovative). Moving further, we provide and propose a new business ethics pedagogy — Integrative Live Case(ILC) — as a generic way to address the different needs of the ethics pedagogy. To make our case stronger, we provide a instantiation of our proposal, providing a detailed template of how to use ILC to address the needs of a good business ethics pedagogy.

Writing this paper has been a great and highly fulfilling learning exercise in team working, idea generation, and academic writing. Our team (3 of us) may have easily spent more than 150 hours each on this project in team meetings, and a similar amount in individually doing our work. With the mission accomplished, the whole time spent in worthwhile both as a result, and also in what it has left behind with us. We can think a little more clearer, and also a write a little better, without a doubt.

I write this giving myself a pat on the back, and moving forward! Amen.
