Summary/Abstract: A review of the literature on teaching business ethics reveals important findings and states key questions for the further discussions: can business ethics be taught? Can business ethics be learned? Should business ethics be delivered in a specialized course? Should it be integrated across the curriculum? What are the moral and intellectual capacities that can be aimed to be developed by students and instructors at business ethics courses? However, author focuses on a comparative analysis of the strategies of teaching business ethics, which are distinguished with regard to only one holistic approach: what are the key goals of teaching business ethics that would determine the means that should be chosen for the effective achieving of the aimed goals? The different answers to this key question make possible to distinguish among at least five different methodological approaches and teaching strategies. It is argued in the article that these five strategies should not be regarded as rival positions, but as complementary approaches in teaching business ethics.
