This book addresses the question: how can institutions develop and
maintain a good purpose? And how can managers contribute to this
endeavour? Twelve contributions explore this question, using
MacIntyrean inquiry as a basis for exploring four main themes: Can
management be considered a practice in the MacIntyrean sense? What
is the role of specific virtues in the development of a virtuous
institution? What are management vices and what are the conditions
in which they flourish? And, can we use MacIntyrean ideas to
consider the management of all forms of institutions? The volume is
an international and multidisciplinary collection, with
contributions from well-known writers in the field of management
ethics, and innovative contributions that use MacIntyrean inquiry
as a lens to examine fields such as hospitality, user generated
music content and social sustainability. The papers are unified by
their concern for the achievement of organizational excellence and
integrity through ethical management. Unlike single author texts
this edited volume brings together multiple perspectives on the
topic of virtue ethics in management. In doing so, it explores the
topic both more deeply and more widely than a single author can do.
Because of its breadth, this book has the potential to become a
turn-to research tool for those interested in virtue theory's
relevance to other academic interests such as organizational
behavior (including motivation theory and social psychology),
literature, contemporary social issue criticism, and business
management. "Editors Harris, Wijesinghe, and McKenzie have crafted
a tight, slim, and thematically consistent volume that will be
indispensable to scholars and students with twin interests in
business and virtue ethics. In particular, those working with
MacIntyre's ideas will find the thorough and complimentary
explorations and applications of his ideas to serve, overall, as a
cornerstone for their own work." Brenden E. Kendall (2014), Harris,
H., Wijesinghe, G., & McKenzie, S. (Eds.). (2013). The Heart of
