This book shows that in business, moral questions are not just
theoretical; they arise in practice and have to be dealt with in
practice. It illustrates that 'ethics as practice' is an important
area of study because it focuses on how ethics are enacted and
embedded in everyday organizational reality. In contrast to the
approaches dominating mainstream literature, the authors of this
thought provoking volume focus on the tensions, paradoxes and
ambiguities that underpin ethics in practice. Recent corporate
scandals such as those involving Enron, Worldcom and Parmalat have
brought to the fore a problem which mainstream economics and
management studies have long ignored: the fact that neither rules,
regulations, nor the laws of the market can ensure ethical
behaviour. The authors of this fascinating book take the tension
between 'morals or money' and 'profits or principles' as the
starting point of their investigations into how ethical problems
emerge and are managed. They show that ethics are at stake in
ambiguous situations where different, often contradicting, sets of
moral values and rules clash. Business Ethics as Practice will
prove a stimulating and fascinating read for scholars of
organization theory, organizational behaviour, business and
management, and more generally, humanities and the social sciences.
Business practitioners will also find much illuminating material to
reflect upon and consider within this book.
