Edited by Sara Louise Muhr, Associate Professor of Organization Studies and Human Resource Management, Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, Bent M. Sørensen and Steen Vallentin, Associate Professors, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark<i>’Morality and ethics are at the heart of business practice, but the concepts themselves are usually assumed, rather than investigated. The chapters in this book refuse such easy answers, and force the reader to confront their own assumptions about ethics, provoking conclusions that are both disturbing and exciting.’</i>
- Martin Parker, University of Leicester, UK,
Ethics and Organizational Practice challenges established theory in management studies and, in particular, provides a post-foundational argument to conventional business ethics. The contributors cover topics from corporate social responsibility and individual morality to primatology, psychopathology and corruption. They provide a multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional exploration of managerial ethics and its moral foundation, presenting a critical understanding of the conditions of ethics in modern organizations.
The book presents a philosophically informed critique of simplified notions of managerial and organizational ethics, making it an excellent resource for postgraduate students and scholars of business ethics, critical management, corporate social responsibility, international business and organizational psychology.
