Amidst this contention what is important today is not to learn specific ‘techniques’ to be ethical but rather to know how to critically interrogate business practice from an ethical perspective – including one’s own practice as a professional or manager. In the complex and diverse global business environment that characterizes contemporary capitalism, what we are faced with is a vast array of competing and often contradictory ethical positions where the pursuit of ethics is about navigating this complexity and taking responsibility for one’s self and one’s action within it.
This book invites students to think through the ethical dimensions of business so as to develop their own critical understanding of business ethics. Business Ethics: A Critical Practice Approach will provide a detailed and research based review and evaluation of business and organizational ethics practice.
Aimed at both undergraduate and post-graduate students of ethics and taking a ‘critical practice’ approach this new text will provide a research based review of such practice, analysing how particular practices have become associated with ethics and how this has been contested and questioned. Business Ethics: A Critical Practice Approach will discuss the background, history and contemporary application of ethics in business as well as examining how those applications have been understood differently in terms of their ethicality. Avoiding moralistic approaches that attempt to teach people how to be ethical, this book will enable students to critically interrogate debates surrounding business ethics so as to develop their own considered perspective on the subject.
