| A Consciousness-Based approach to management education for integrity > | | Heaton, D. P. and Subramaniam, R. , & Travis, F. (accepted for publication). A Consciousness-Based approach to management education for integrity. In C. Wankel and A. Stachowicz-Stanusch (Eds.), Handbook of Research on Teaching Ethics in Business and Management Education, Hershey PA, IGI Global.
Abstract
Management education is seeking creative innovations that can have a
real impact on integrity. In this chapter we present our recent research
on the relationship between integrity in the brain, as measured by the
Brain Integration Scale, and measures of moral reasoning. Further, we
summarize research indicating longitudinal growth in coherent brain
functioning, intelligence, personality maturity, moral development, and
psychological health through the Consciousness-Based approach to
management education practiced at Maharishi University of Management.
This research supports a potentially innovative approach to management
education that does not just address education for integrity on the
level of ethical theories or values, but demonstrably transforms the
neurophysiology, leading to changes in moral reasoning and heightened
effectiveness of performance.

Abstract
Maharishi University has developed a conceptual model for teaching
sustainable business which shows students the relationships among the
intelligence of nature, individual development, societal influences,
sustainable business practices, and holistic outcomes. Experience of the
Unified Field of Natural Law through the Transcendental Meditation
program promotes those qualities of individual development which are the
foundation for holistic success in business management. Developed
individuals functioning as communities influence business organizations
toward more sustainable principles, practices and performance.
Sustainable organizations achieve triple-bottom-line outcomes —
fulfilling economic, social and environmental responsibilities.

Abstract
The system of education at Maharishi University of Management provides a
model for management educators seeking to understand and teach
spirituality. It locates Transcendental Consciousness, “pure
spirituality,” at the basis of the universe and the human mind,
experienced through the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program.
Disciplines are taught as expressions of one unified field of
consciousness. This integrated approach develops students who express
“applied spirituality,” acting for the positive transformation of the
quality of life for all. Research on educational outcomes at MUM gives
evidence of cognitive, affective, and moral development in students. The
authors offer suggestions for educators at other institutions.

| A quantum metaphor of organizations: Implications for business education > | | Schmidt-Wilk, J. & Heaton, D. P. (Fall, 1999). A quantum metaphor of organizations: Implications for business education. Business Education Technology Journal. 1,1 (pp. 27-30).
Abstract
The quantum metaphor has begun to be applied in management, contrasting
with metaphors of the organization derived from classical physics.
Metaphorically looking at organizations as quantum mechanical rather
than classical phenomena shifts our attention from fixed roles to
emergent possibilities, from discrete lines of authority to evolving
networks of communication, and from mechanistic control to
self-organization. As this shift is occurring in business practice,
business education needs to adopt new perspectives and new educational
technologies to enliven in students the characteristics described by the
quantum metaphor.
