The globalization of business ethics: why America remains distinctive

Article Abstract:

During the last decade, highly publicized incidents of business misconduct have occurred in virtually every major industrial economy. These scandals have played a critical role in increasing public, business, and academic awareness of issues of business ethics throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Yet the extent of both public and academic interest in business ethics remains substantially greater in the United States than in any other capitalist nation. Moreover, the way Americans approach ethical issues remains distinctive. This article shows how the distinctive institutional, legal, social, and cultural context of American society has affected the way Americans perceive the ethical dimensions of business.

The study of social issues in management: a critical appraisal

Article Abstract:

This article offers a two-part criticism of the current state of research and teaching in business-and-society courses and programs. The first section argues that the social and political issues that originally gave rise to the study of business and society fifteen years ago have lost much of their relevance to the practice of management. The second section suggests that the field's treatment of social and ethical issues has been distorted by the political biases and ideological assumptions of its leading scholars.

Toward CSR subscript 3: why ethical analysis is indispensable and unavoidable in corporate affairs

Article Abstract:

Corporate managers and business-and-society scholars cannot escape the normative implications of their decisions or their research. 'Value free' decisions or research that is 'neutral' are a myth. Practitioners and academics need to measure the worth of their decisions and research studies in terms of the basic moral conceptions embedded in 'the culture of ethics'. Doing so enhances the legitimacy of corporations and clarifies the nature of business-and-society research. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
