Enlarging sustainability learning through integrative thinking with a focus on cultivating virtues

Purpose In the African context of business practice, the authors face two interrelated challenges. First, executives need to deal strategically and sustainably with growing levels of inequality, under-employment and declining levels of wellness and safety. Second, executive development needs to develop virtues to help executives to address these problems. This paper aims to articulate an integrated, sustainable business education approach that aims to prepare executives to practice integrative thinking while simultaneously cultivating virtues that enhance their lives, thereby enabling them to make ongoing sustainable impacts to their worlds. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a mixed method analysis including both quantitative and qualitative data from student course feedback evaluations from Business Model Innovation (BMI) and Phronesis Development Practice courses run over four consecutive years between 2018 and 2021 at the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business as part of the Executive Masters of Business Administration degree. Findings The program’s pedagogical approach integrates a philosophical habituation process with a core course on BMI practice. This philosophical integration is one in which there is a sustainable focus on cultivating specific “process” and “practice” virtues which foster awareness amongst executives of their everyday mundane skilful coping in the world. This leads to candidates becoming attuned to ways, in which they can strive for more authenticity and to step into newer ways of being, that allow them to reflect their values and evolve cultural practices. Originality/value As the first business school in Africa to base a BMI course on the affordances of the phenomenon of being-in-the-world and a philosophical habituation process, the authors hope to inspire more business schools to adopt holistic, sustainable approaches to executive development that goes beyond the competence paradigm.

Absolwenci zakopiańskiej Szkoły Przemysłu Drzewnego w pracowni profesora Tadeusza Breyera

Abstrakt: Celem artykułu jest analiza obecności i znaczenia absolwentów zakopiańskiej Szkoły Przemysłu Drzewnego w pracowni prof. Tadeusza Breyera w warszawskiej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych. Na wybór tej uczelni znaczący wpływ miało przeniesienie ich nauczyciela Karola Stryjeńskiego do stolicy. Ponieważ nie mieli matury, musieli przejść proces „uzwyczajnienia”, najczęściej uzyskując świadectwo ukończenia Miejskiej Szkoły Sztuk Zdobniczych i Malarstwa. W pracowni absolwenci wyróżniali się szczególnie udanymi rzeźbami o tematyce sportowej oraz w zakresie technik metalowych. Brali też znaczący udział w realizacjach swoich profesorów. Niektórzy zostali profesorami na Akademii Sztuk Pięknych w Warszawie, inni powrócili jako pedagodzy do Zakopanego. To zjawisko przepływu uczniów i profesorów trwa po dzień dzisiejszy. Summary: The aim of this paper is to analyze the presence and importance of graduates of the Zakopane School of Wood Industry in the Prof. Tadeusz Breyer’s studio at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. For many graduates, the choice of the Academy was significantly influenced by the relocation of their teacher, Karol Stryjeński to the capital. As they did not have a high school diploma, they had to undergo the “habituation” process, most often obtaining a certificate of graduation from the Municipal School of Decorative Arts and Painting. In the studio, they distinguished themselves with particularly successful sculptures in sports and metal techniques. They also took a significant part in the realizations of their professors. Some became professors at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, others returned to Zakopane as teachers. This phenomenon of the movement of students and professors continues to this day.

The Learner’s Motivation and the Structure of Habituation in Aristotle

Moral virtue is, for Aristotle, a state to which an agent’s motivation is central. For anyone interested in Aristotle’s account of moral development this invites reflection on two questions: how is it that virtuous motivational dispositions are established? And what contribution do the moral learner’s existing motivational states make to the success of her habituation? I argue that views which demand that the learner act with virtuous motives if she is to acquire virtuous dispositions misconstrue the nature and structure of the habituation process, but also obscure Aristotle’s crucial insight that the very practice of virtuous actions affords a certain discovery and can be transformative of an agent’s motivational states. Drawing attention, in Aristotle’s account, to an asymmetry between the agential perspective and the observation of others, I consider what the agential perspective affords the learner, and offer a novel interpretation of the role a learner’s existing motives play in her habituation.

Horse Behavior, Physiology and Emotions during Habituation to a Treadmill

A treadmill is an important tool in the equine analysis of gait, lameness, and hoof balance, as well as for the evaluation of horse rehabilitation or poor performance including dynamic endoscopy. Before all of these uses, horses have to be habituated to a treadmill locomotion. We used principal component analysis to evaluate the relationship between aspects of the horse’s temperament and emotional response, and progress in the behavioral habituation to a treadmill. Fourteen horses were tested, by the same familiar handler, using the novel object test, the handling test, and both positive and negative emotional response tests. Then, four stages of gradual habituation of the first work on a treadmill were conducted. Each time, the horse’s behavior was filmed. Data obtained from ethograms and heart rate measurements were tested. Four principal components were identified in examined horses: “Flightiness”, “Freeziness”, “Curiosity”, and “Timidity”. Flightiness was connected with nervousness, agitation by new objects, and easy excitability, and gradually decreased of features during habituation. Timidity was associated with a lack of courage and stress in new situations, and those features strongly increased when the treadmill was introduced. Freeziness and Curiosity features showed strong stability throughout the whole habituation. The results of this study provide evidence for a connection between temperament, emotional response, and habituation process in a horse.
