Studying Moral Ethos Using an Adapted Kohlbergian Model
Authors: Snell Robin S.
Published: March 2007

Alasdair MacIntyre's (1988) analysis of moral philosophy shows that liberal individualism, the dominant contemporary tradition, has failed to secure consensus on ethical principles. It follows that Kohlberg's stages model of socio-moral development, which proposes universal morality, lacks universal foundations. There are further pitfalls when applying the model to organizational moral ethos (OME). I argue that these problems can be circumvented, and I reformulate the Kohlberg model, building it into a framework for analyzing five interrelated sub-systems of organizational moral ethos. These are: approach to formal moral governance; basis of moral authority; deep implicit socialization; morality behind normative structure; and corporate outlook towards social responsibility. I present 19 propositions based on the core idea that in liberal individualist societies, postconventionally orientated OME would lead to a reduction in ethical dysfunctions such as bribery, discrimination, employee exploitation, dangerous products, and environmental damage. I conclude with six further questions to consider in OME research.
Firm Selection: An Integrative Perspective
Authors: Durand Rodolphe
Published: March 2007

This paper highlights the variable intensity of selection pressure on firms. Failing to include a theory of selection pressure in assessing a firm's performance can lead to ambiguous or incomplete judgements on the rationales of the firm's success. Building on previous threads of literature (population ecology, evolutionary economics, and the dynamic resource-based view of the firn), this paper paves the way for a unified theory of selection through seven research propositions. Emphasis is placed on the fact that managers can use the determinants of selection strategically, either to avoid the direct pressure of selection or to pass it on competitors.
Essai: Philosophizing on Strategic Management Models
Authors: Calori Roland
Published: March 2007

This essai develops a philosophical perspective on managerial cognition. More precisely, it offers an epistemological critique of orthodox models of strategic management. The critique is based on the confrontation of these models with a diverse set of philosophical texts on knowledge and action. The orthodoxy is composed of the three prescriptive schools identified by Mintzberg (1990) and considered as explicit collective knowledge. To say nothing of the omission of socio-political forces at work in strategy formation, three main biases are elicited and discussed: a bias towards thinking to the detriment of other forms of reasoning, a bias towards binary logic, and the failure to recognize feeling as a source of reason. We suggest that philosophical questioning — epistemological and ethicalcan — help practitioners and scholars renew their management models, recipes and theories.
Capitalism, Subjectivity and Ethics: Debating Labour Process Analysis
Authors: Parker Martin
Published: March 2007

In this paper I want to try and establish whether any common ground, in theory or practice, might be found between some kind of adherence to labour process Marxism and a broadly poststructuralist strategy which seeks to destabilize any kind of universalizing theory for organizational studies. In the first half of the paper, I will attempt to draw together the key differences and similarities between some of the recent contributions to this debate by a group of British writers-Smith, Thompson, Ackroyd, Knights and Willmott. The second half of the paper attempts to consider three key questions that these pieces raise. First, I will consider the definitional boundaries of labour process analysis. Second, I will examine the relationship between organization studies and dualism. Finally, I will address the connections between ontology, epistemology and ethics and conclude with some suggestions about the `primacy of the latter.
Gender reflection
Authors: Gaughran Laurie
Published: March 2007

Recent feminist debates reveal a concern about the notion that equality is no longer a valuable ideal for feminist thinkers. Suspicious that equality represents sameness, feminists have leaned toward rejecting the ideal of equality and moved toward the recognition of differences among women as the guide of political judgement. In this article, equality is approached from a feminist perspective that does not conclude that identical sameness is the only reading of equality. Borrowing Rawls' notion of the moral person, I argue that gender reflection should be considered part of an expanded view of equality.

Concepts of Consumer Education
Authors: Wilhelms Fred T.
Published: March 2007

The following report summarizes one section of a study being made by Dr. Fred T. Wilhelms to clarify the concepts of consumer education for the three-year study that the National Association of Secondary-School Principals has undertaken. In this report he has limited himself almost entirely to the concepts described in statements before professional associations and in special publications of key organizations, including also a few highly significant statements by individuals writing in professional Journals. In other phases of the study, the concepts expressed or implied in consumer education textbooks and courses of study are likewise being analyzed, and the views of workers in the field are being gathered. This report indicates, as might have been ex pected, that there is as yet no general agreement as to what consumer ed ucation should be. However, it furnishes a preliminary statement that will aid us, with the co-operation of many workers in the field, to come to some agreement as a basis for our study.—THOMAS H. BRIGGS, DIRECTOR OF THE CONSUMER EDUCATION STUDY

A. Research Concerning Supervised Correspondence Study
Authors: Childs Gayle B.
Published: March 2007

LET'S face it: The system of supervised correspondence instruction may be a wonderful tool administratively; it may have flexibility and adaptability in a thousand-and-one odd situations; it may look like the perfect answer to the problems of the small high school, the home-bound youngster, and so on. But, if it does not do a relatively successful job of teaching what is to be taught, all the rest is nothing.

Therefore, in this chapter, let's look at some evidence: First, a summary of research on the subject, by one of the fore most students. Second, a more empitical description by one of the long-time leaders. And third, the evidence of success as it is shown in the steady growth of the movement.

A cooperative relationship among the members of a school's staff, a long-recommended condi tion, is now imperative if our large high schools are to be living and adaptive organisms.

Authors: Brooke Edward W.
Published: March 2007

"It is very important that we recognize what is at stake in the current crisis in urban educa tion.

A Place of Responsibility: Where It Worked Both Ways
Authors: Peterman Lloyd E.
Published: March 2007

We often speak of the necessity for responsible protest but hardly ever say that reaction to pro test must be responsible, also. This inconsistency may exist because the authority being bom barded by protest always finds it hard to sub mit to a higher authority. But being responsible means being able to answer, if need be, to a higher authority; being liable; being account able. Oak Park High School is fortunate in having an administration that recognizes its re sponsibilities to education, and (this is the rare thing) is knowledgeable enough in the ways of human nature and individual natures to deal wisely with student dissidents. As a result, edu cation at Oak Park High School was not dis rupted.
Second Thoughts: The Editor Comments
Authors: Fuller Robert W.
Published: March 2007

This month the editor offers in place of his own comments two short articles that have already appeared in other publica tions but probably have not been seen by most BULLETIN readers. It took no second thoughts on his part to decide that these were worth sharing, so permission to reprint was immediately re quested and willingly given. This, we grant, is not the place in the magazine where we normally place material of this sort, but these two pieces appeared in the editor's mail after this issue of the magazine had been set in type and organized for printing. Thus, instead of holding them for some later month we took ad vantage of the flexibility the editor has in paging his Second Thoughts to present them in February.

Either article would do very well on its own, but since both in part are speaking to the same theme—unusual ways for using pupils' "wants to know" as templates for planning the content of instruction—the opportunity to present them together seemed a most happy coincidence. Each paper has more to it than this, but this alone is enough, I believe, to repay a schoolman for giv ing some of his reading time to them.
An Experimental Program in Computer-Assisted Mathematics

"Computer-assisted mathematics is no cure-all; neither is it suitable for every concept taught in the secondary school curriculum. Much of its potential value is still undiscovered.
