In this episode Mike Gulvin visits from Pearson College's Business Ethics course. We look at the extra steps needed to take an argument from descriptive to philosophical.  Whether it be automotive design or organ harvesting, Chris and Mike discuss the ways in which you can explain not just that something is wrong, but perhaps WHY it's wrong.   There is a reference to the Chevy Corvair at some point, you can hear more about that on this excellent episode of "The Car Show".   https://podtail.com/en/podcast/car-show-with-eddie-alterman/the-chevrolet-corvair-how-safety-failed-us/ Mike Gulvin lists himself as a bit of an all-rounder. Mike has three post-graduate qualifications, one in Marketing and Communications (Masters), Educational Leadership and Management (PCert Dis.) and an MA in Contemporary Popular Knowledges – or ‘gossip’ as Mike likes to say! Mike has lived abroad in Asia for much of his adult life returning to the UK in 2019 to do a brief spell at Nottingham University before moving onto Pearson. Mike spent 12 years in Japan before spending another 13 in Vietnam and has a deep understanding of national and cultural underpinnings related to Marketing, Ethics and Management having lived and worked for extended periods in these host nations as well as a very brief spell in Thailand. Mike’s areas of interest lie in marketing and the deconstruction of promotional communications especially. However, his main area of research is the internationalisation, globalisation and marketing of education. Mike is also a keen reader of philosophy bringing this knowledge to the area of business ethics.
