Spotlight On New Values Based MBA Curriculum
|
| The Giving Voice to Values Curriculum Initiative
Aspen CBE has just made available online the highly acclaimed and widely used Giving Voice to Values (GVV) Curriculum Initiative.
A wide collection of GVV teaching materials, including Teaching Modules and Cases, are now available through CasePlace.org.
GVV is an innovative research and curriculum development project, launched
by The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program and Yale School of
Management. Drawing on both the actual experiences of business
practitioners as well as cutting edge social science and management
research, Giving Voice to Values fills a long-standing and critical gap
in business education by expanding the definition of what it means to
teach business ethics. Rather than a focus on ethical analysis, this
new curriculum focuses on ethical implementation and asks the question:
"What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?" |
