Does the time-honoured idea of the honest merchant still hold up in view of modern companies and markets? And do general education approaches to values-based and moral education fit with the specific objectives and conditions of vocational education? The article outlines a business-didactic concept that, by contrast, emphasises the relevance of modern business and corporate ethics. The informed economic and organisational citizen could serve social partners and business teachers as the modern role model for the continuation of the moral occupational education of merchants.
