How does one teach applied ethics, and more concretely, business ethics? Which different methods are available? When I use the term ‘method’, I am not only referring to certain particular techniques, such as the selection and analysis of ‘hard cases’, the discussion of dilemmas or the drafting of codes of conduct, but also to typical models of thought: how does one conceive moral issues or attitudes within a particular professional setting? According to my experience, three sorts of method emerge as dominant ways of conceiving ethics: (1) the model of the legal code (2) the case method (3) the method of corporate or institutional analysis. In the following text, I will briefly describe each of them, attempting to highlight their specific qualities and blind spots. In doing so, I will not express any exclusive preference for one or the other method, since I am convinced we need all three of them in the exercise of applied ethics; but it will also be clear from the following observations that I have a clear but relative preference for one of the methods, namely the third. I hope that the reasons for this preference will become evident as we proceed.
