Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a series of articles by Dr Kieran
James and selected co-authors who present a radical
holistic approach to accounting and business ethics
education. The authors draw upon existentialist and
Marxist philosophy, Freudian psychology and popular
culture in the classroom to foster education and
development of the whole person. The authors reject
the traditional divides between "professional"
and "personal" lives and between the "economic" and
the "social" that encourage alienation and
careerism. The punk rock music of the Clash and the
character Raskolnikov in Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime
and Punishment are used as powerful illustrations of
critiques of established social institutions and
self re-creation through helping others. In the
final article, Kieran James and Setsuo Otsuka
explore employment prospects for minority groups in
accounting in Australia and reflect on the social
and cultural obstacles that may need to be removed
before a truly multi-cultural workforce can emerge.
This article also reflects on how accounting
education can better equip Chinese and minority
students to work successfully in Australia.
