Abstract

L'article propose une réflexion sur le contenu des programmes de formation des futurs managers, notamment des enseignements de comptabilité. Le point de départ, est une expérience pédagogique réalisée en collaboration avec des étudiants d'une école de commerce française, à qui on leur a demandé leur perception de l'affaire Enron. L'auteur montre que certains étudiants se retrouvent confrontés à des situations de dissonance cognitive pouvant être accentuées par le contenu de certains enseignements. Destinés à devenir des managers, les étudiants réagissent diversement à un système qu'ils accusent de les engager sur la voie de la dérive contre leur idéal, moral et éthique.
