This book explores how ethics and the moral context of business
have evolved historically in inf luential management theories and
concepts. It looks at how managerial thought accommodates morality,
values, and ethics and demonstrates the emerging patterns of
ethical conduct to illustrate how moral aspects of management and
organizational practice can become peripheral. The author examines
a diverse range of data sources such as the most seminal books in
management and academic papers published in the mainstream academic
literature. The readings selected in the process are subject to
critical analysis and are complemented by an exploratory study of
the financial services industry, based on semistructured in-depth
interviews. The uniqueness of the proposed approach comes first
from the consolidation of many perspectives such as management,
organization studies, and business anthropology rather than
focusing on one particular subdiscipline; second, from using a
mixed methodology, combining literature reviews with empirical,
exploratory research based on interviews; and third from including
a narrative context in the analysis and proposed future theory
framework. This book will appeal to students, researchers, and
scholars who teach ethics in the fields of economics or business.
It is useful for advancing theory and research on moral management
and as a resource for management practitioners looking to create
business practices fostering moral sensitivity. Those interested in
setting future development directions may also find the proposed
consolidation of theoretical and empirical evidence valuable for
the design of future policies.
