TL;DR: The traditional paradigm of business schools, with its strong focus on analytical models and reductionism, is not well suited to handle theambiguity and high rate of change facing many industries today as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: he traditional paradigm of business schools, with its strong focus onanalytical models and reductionism, is not well suited to handle theambiguity and high rate of change facing many industries today.Business educators have always faced the dilemma of academicrigor pitted against practical relevance (notwithstanding Kurt Lewin’s astuteobservation that nothing is as practical as good theory). The dilemma stems fromtwo seemingly conflicting notions. On one hand, universities must hold true tothe time-honored tradition of scholarship and the associated principles of scien-tific inquiry. On the other hand, whatever universities teach and explore withintheir professional schools must be relevant to the clinical art that defines thatprofession at the time. Unlike such professions as law, medicine, engineering, or architecture, business has yet to develop a unifying professional identity or a standard for professional certification (which the MBA presently is not).The need to balance the competing demands of rigor and relevance wasscrutinized in a provocative 2005

TL;DR: This paper investigated whether national institutional context is associated with differences in auditors' moral reasoning by examining three components of auditor's moral decision process: moral development, cognitive moral capability, and deliberative reasoning of how a realistic accounting dilemma will be resolved.
Abstract: This paper compares the moral reasoning of 363 auditors from Canada and the United States. We investigate whether national institutional context is associated with differences in auditors' moral reasoning by examining three components of auditors' moral decision process: (1) moral development, which describes cognitive moral capability, (2) prescriptive reasoning of how a realistic accounting dilemma ought to be resolved and, (3) deliberative reasoning of how a realistic accounting dilemma will be resolved. Not surprisingly, it appears that institutional factors are more likely to be associated with auditors' deliberative reasoning than their prescriptive reasoning in both countries. Additionally, our findings suggest that the national institutional context found in the United States, which has a tougher regulatory and more litigious environment, appears to better encourage auditors to deliberate according to what they perceive is "the ideal" judgment as compared to the Canadian context. We then discuss the implications of these findings for regulators and for ethics research.
