Drawing on the work of Jurgen Habermas's social theory for the
critical study of management, organization and employment, this
book proposes a new definition of legitimate corporate action;
based on Habermas's principles of communicative rationality and
discourse ethics. Systematic in its application of the full range
of Habermas's arguments to management and economics, it uses
insights from these disciplines to inform a critique and
reconstruction of Habermas's work. The result is a distinctive new
conceptualization of the relationship between social interaction
and economic structures and institutions. Concluding that corporate
legitimacy - the successful combination of market economics with
distributive and environmental justice - is only possible in the
context of deliberative forms of democratic workplace governance,
the findings of this work have serious implications for our
understanding of corporate social responsibility and of the part
managers and employees can play in putting it into practice.
