Internationally, there is a growing political consensus that “corporate social responsibility” should play a key role in management education. Against this background, there is a need for interdisciplinary learning between business administration and business ethics. So far, this dialogue has been hindered by approaches to business ethics that (still) lack a solid foundation in economics. This paper seeks to bridge this gap by systematically relating (an economic approach to) business ethics to management analysis and education. As a first step, the paper argues that business ethics theory needs to acknowledge the competitive market conditions for business firms; therefore, it is advantageous to adapt an economic approach to (business) ethics. In a second step, the paper puts forward ten theses that explain how such an economic approach to business ethics can be easily incorporated into conventional management education. The paper concludes with a proposal for interdisciplinary learning in view of a newly raised academic debate between business ethics and business administration (Albach-Controversy).
