Titlul prezentării: Cultural Scripts and the Curricular Positioning of Business Ethics in Management Education: A Cross-National Analysis

Abstract: Business ethics (BE) has become an increasingly visible component of undergraduate management education as universities confront rising expectations for responsible leadership, sustainability transitions, and ethical judgement under conditions of uncertainty. Yet despite these pressures, the institutional positioning of BE remains uneven across countries and programmes. This study examines how curricular structures and cultural scripts jointly shape students’ ethical readiness by combining a cross-national scan of 128 undergraduate management programmes across 32 countries with an interpretive analysis of obedience-related proverbs and cultural indicators drawn from Hofstede, GLOBE, and the World Values Survey. The findings reveal marked cross-regional variation in the curricular positioning of BE. Anglo and Nordic universities more frequently embed (BE) as a mandatory component of management curricula, whereas Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and Asian programmes more often position it as an elective course or integrate it within broader modules. Mandatory provision appears more common in low power distance and self-expression contexts, suggesting that curriculum design aligns with wider cultural expectations regarding authority, student voice, and moral agency. Although students express support for ethical values across contexts, obedience-related proverbs, including variants of “The bowed head avoids the sword,” continue to shape how learners interpret responsibility, conflict, and ethical voice in hierarchical collectivist environments. The study develops a diagnostic framework explaining when BE operates as a corrective, consolidative, or future-oriented pedagogical anchor, offering both conceptual insight for research on management education and practical guidance for culturally responsive ethics pedagogy.

CEBSS, inițiat și coordonat de către prof.univ.dr. Cristian Litan din anul 2012, reprezintă un forum pentru dezbaterea și difuzarea rezultatelor cercetărilor științifice. Seria de seminare contribuie în mod semnificativ și distinctiv la creșterea valorii adăugate științifice, având un impact relevant asupra cunoștințelor, educației și practicilor din domeniul economiei și al afacerilor.
