Corporate Governance and Ethics is an illuminating and practical
reading of Aristotle's Politics for today's corporate directors.
With a deft synthesis of ethics, economics and politics, Alejo
Sison elevates the discussion of corporate governance out of the
realm of abstract rules and structures into a more effective form
of Aristotelian politics. He argues that corporate governance is a
human practice where subjective, ethical conditions outweigh the
mastery of techniques, since the firm is not a mere production
function but, above all, a community of workers. Corporate
governance issues are discussed in a holistic fashion, using
international case studies to embed the discussion in environments
defined by their economic, legal and cultural systems. One of the
author's key messages is that reform starts with the ethical and
political education of directors. Alejo Sison uses an integrative
approach to corporate governance that incorporates
ethical-political considerations with the economic and legal
dimensions of issues. He backs his theoretical claims with a series
of case histories including Fiat from Italy, Cheung Kong Holdings
and Whampoa Limited from China, Banco Popular from Spain and United
Airlines from the US. He provides a special focus on the education
of corporate directors in accordance with the principles of
Aristotle's Politics. This accessible book will appeal to corporate
directors, executives and managers; academics and students with an
interest in corporate governance, leadership and ethics, corporate
citizenship and corporate social responsibility; and modern readers
of Aristotle's virtue theory and politics in relation to business
ethics.
