In this original collection of essays, a group of distinguished
scholars critically examine the ethical dimensions of business
using the Kantian themed business ethics of Norman E. Bowie as a
jumping off point. The authors engage Bowie's influential body of
scholarship as well as contemporary themes in business, including
topics such as: the normative foundations of capitalism; the
applicability of Kantian ethics, virtue ethics, and pragmatism in
normative business ethics; meaningful work; managerial ethics; the
ethics of high leverage finance capitalism; business ethics and
corporate social responsibility; and responsibility for the natural
environment. The contributors to this volume include both scholars
sympathetic to Bowie's Kantian business ethics and scholars
critical of that perspective. As one of the foundational figures in
the establishment and legitimization of the study of business
ethics as a field of scholarship, Bowie casts a long shadow over
the field. Over the last thirty years he has applied a distinctive,
Kantian approach to the analysis of problems in business ethics and
his work has had a substantial impact on a wide range of theory and
scholarship in the field. Bowie argues in his work that economic
value is not the only value that should inform managers,
executives, and policymakers when making both business policy
decisions and everyday management decisions. He utilizes a Kantian
framework to support the position that additional values - such as
human dignity and rational consistency - should inform business
practice and influence managerial decision-making. He also shows
that business practices that include these additional values are
consistent with sound management theory and that such businesses
can be financially successful. This volume of scholarly essays will
be of considerable interest to students and scholars working in
business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and organization
studies. Contributors: D.G. Arnold, N.E. Bowie, J.B. Ciulla, M.A.
