This textbook by Mollie Painter-Morland explores business ethics from the perspective of continental philosophers. It addresses important themes such as corporate agency, stakeholder theory, moral decision-making, whistleblowing, and globalization. The emphasis is on the less-studied angle of continental philosophy, with contributions from, among others, Foucault, Derrida, Levinas, and Žižek.
Contents
Although business ethics has traditionally been based on analytic philosophy, this book shows how the work of continental philosophers offers new insights into business ethics. It studies topics such as organizational culture, justice, leadership, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. In addition, it includes various support materials such as an extensive glossary, explanations of concepts, and practice examples.
