Business ethics, corporate social responsibility, corporate
citizenship, values-driven management, corporate governance, and
ethical leadership are necessary horizons for the legitimacy of
corporations in the process of globalization. Based on hermeneutics
and institutional analysis, this book discusses the place of values
in corporations and the role of ethics in management. With the
theories of business ethics as a starting point, it is possible to
propose a vision of the good citizen corporation. The book presents
theories, concepts of responsibility for stakeholder justice, and
basic ethical principles of respect for autonomy, dignity,
integrity, and vulnerability. This is the foundation for an
analysis of the ethical relations to internal and external
constituencies of the firm, i.e. shareholders, owners, investors,
management, employees, consumers, and local community. The
interaction with the environment is further analyzed with a focus
on ethical principles as the basis for sustainability. This
investigation culminates with the conceptualization of the firm as
a collective and institutional moral agent. The content also
includes analysis of concrete political developments in the US,
Europe, and the United Nations. Finally, the book provides a
framework for a new corporate strategy based on global business
ethics.
