Editorial Review
Manufacturing Morals demonstrates how faculty and students are exposed to a system that operates on open-ended directives that require significant decision-making on the part of those involved, with little overt guidance from the hierarchy. Anteby suggests that this model—which tolerates moral complexity—is perhaps one of the few that can adapt and endure over time. Manufacturing Morals is a perceptive must-read for anyone looking for insight into the moral decision-making of today’s business leaders and those influenced by and working for them.

While teaching, an instructor needs to pay attention to several simultaneous mental moves or tapes. The course-structure tape tracks how the concepts covered in the current session relate to other parts of the course.
Whether at home or at the School, time is always set aside to review a case and fine-tune a session’s teaching plan.
Teaching at the School is a bit like a performance, one in which most moves and steps are rehearsed many times before class.
Between abstract morals and concrete individuals lie intermediary groups entrusted withensuring proper socialization into those shared understandings.
