One of the strengths of the book is that it combines a conceptual
clarification of what ethical innovation means - and why it is
needed - with discussions of actual ethical innovations at each of
the different responsibility levels in business ethics (the
individual, organizational and systemic level).' - Geert Demuijnck,
EDHEC Business School, France'Innovation in business is not new.
But innovation is new in the business ethics literature. This is
the first book I know of that examines both innovation in business
ethics and ethical aspects of innovation in business. New ways of
doing business and many of the changes brought about by technology
and globalization raise ethical issues too often ignored by those
in business ethics until there is a crisis or scandal. This
ground-breaking group of chapters opens up a new area for research
and investigation by those in business ethics and those with an
interest in ethics in business.' - Richard De George, Distinguished
Professor Emeritus, University of Kansas, US Innovation has become
a buzzword that promises dramatic changes in almost every field of
business. Absent from this attention is a serious discussion of the
ethical sides of dramatic change. To address this, editors Georges
Enderle and Patrick E. Murphy gather a team of experts to fully
examine the ethics of innovation within business and the economy in
this standout addition to the Studies in TransAtlantic Business
Ethics series. The book opens with an exploration and clarification
of several key concepts necessary for a thorough study of
innovation such as business ethics, moral innovation, creativity,
and wealth creation. The opening chapters also propose a novel
theoretical foundation and methodological approach with which to
address ethical innovation. Subsequently, the contributors discuss
challenges and opportunities of innovation for individuals,
organizations, and systems while zoning in on a wide range of
specific examples, including but not limited to: managerial
responsibilities, morality and imagination of leaders, as well as
the ethics of the Maker Movement. This comprehensive book evaluates
organizational innovations from diverse parts of the world
including Egypt, India, Latin America, the UK, and the US. Ethical
Innovation in Business and the Economy concludes with a
presentation of methods for improving economic systems, such as
tracing Adam Smith in emerging enterprises, developing a justice
model of marketing to the poor, and bridging the formal and
informal economies in an African context. This in-depth examination
of innovation, and its involvement in the business and economic
world, is an invaluable reference tool for students, teachers, and
researchers in business and economic ethics, as well as executives
in business and other organizations who search for new and more
responsible ways to address globalization, sustainability, and
financialization. Contributors: T. Beschorner, D. Bevan, G.G.
