Business, Ethics and Institutions by Asli M. Colpan,Geoffrey Jones Pdf

This book is the first systematic scholarly study on the business history of Turkey from the nineteenth century until the present. It aims to place the distinctive characteristics of capitalism in Turkey within a global and comparative perspective, dealing with three related issues. First, it examines the institutional context that shaped the capitalist development in Turkey. Second, it focuses on the corporate actors, entrepreneurs and business enterprises that have led the national economic growth. Third, it explores the ethical foundations and social responsibility of business enterprises in the country. The comparative and historical approach sets the volume apart from previous books on the subject. Business, Ethics and Institutions aims to strengthen scholarly and policy understanding of Turkish capitalism and the diversified business groups which dominate the economy by providing a deep analysis of the evolution of political and social institutions which shaped corporate activity. It demonstrates the key role played by large family-owned business groups in Turkey’s development. It also seeks to identify both the similarities and the differences in the Turkish pattern of economic development, making comparisons with Japan, an early example of catch-up, and a more successful model than Turkey. The comparative perspective makes the book highly relevant to a wide range of scholars interested in the institutional foundations of modern capitalism and will be of value to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of business and economic history, ethics, organizational studies, and entrepreneurship.

Evolving Business Ethics by Christoph Lütge,Marianne Thejls Ziegler Pdf

Business ethics as a discipline has been evolving rapidly, and indeed needs to evolve constantly. This evolution is mandated more urgently than ever before as we plunge headlong, and with increasing velocity, into the era of automation, artificial intelligence and digitization. In a scenario where legal and policy guidelines are scarce or ambiguous, the role of business ethics in guiding academic and industrial research and innovation cannot be understated. Ethical codes and guidelines are needed for educators, scientists, industries, law and policy makers, as well as for the general public engaged with emerging technologies not only to ensure a smooth transition into the autonomous and digital age, but also to ensure that in the process, we do not unknowingly disengage from basic human rights, values and responsibilities. Traditional, time tested and universally accepted principles of (business) ethics, including principles of integrity, responsibility and sustainability must, therefore, not be abandoned, but rather permitted to evolve to address the unique issues that emerging technologies present to humankind. This evolution necessarily entails an evolution also in research methods (including methods that permit multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder engagement), entrepreneurship ethics and a multi-cultural understanding of human rights and responsibilities, as relevant to emerging technologies such as autonomous driving. The envisaged volume “Evolving Business Ethics: Integrity, Sustainability and Responsible Innovation in the Digital Age” accordingly brings together contributions in the field of business ethics from a diversity of perspectives and disciplines.

Evolution of a Corporate Idealist by Christine Bader Pdf

There is an invisible army of people deep inside the world's biggest and best-known companies, pushing for safer and more responsible practices. They are trying to prevent the next Rana Plaza factory collapse, the next Deepwater Horizon explosion, the next Foxconn labor abuses. Obviously, they don't always succeed. Christine Bader is one of those people. She worked for and loved BP and then-CEO John Browne's lofty rhetoric on climate change and human rights--until a string of fatal BP accidents, Browne's abrupt resignation under a cloud of scandal, and the start of Tony Hayward's tenure as chief executive, which would end with the Deepwater Horizon disaster. Bader's story of working deep inside the belly of the beast is unique in its details, but not in its themes: of feeling like an outsider both inside the company (accused of being a closet activist) and out (assumed to be a corporate shill); of getting mixed messages from senior management; of being frustrated with corporate life but committed to pushing for change from within. The Evolution of a Corporate Idealist: When Girl Meets Oil is based on Bader's experience with BP and then with a United Nations effort to prevent and address human rights abuses linked to business. Using her story as its skeleton, Bader weaves in the stories of other "Corporate Idealists" working inside some of the world's biggest and best-known companies.

The Evolving Landscape of Ethical Digital Technology by Simon Rogerson Pdf

In a world that is awash in ubiquitous technology, even the least tech-savvy know that we must take care how that technology affects individuals and society. That governments and organizations around the world now focus on these issues, that universities and research institutes in many different languages dedicate significant resources to study the issues, and that international professional organizations have adopted standards and directed resources toward ethical issues in technology is in no small part the result of the work of Simon Rogerson. – Chuck Huff, Professor of Social Psychology at Saint Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota In 1995, Apple launched its first WWW server, Quick Time On-line. It was the year Microsoft released Internet Explorer and sold 7 million copies of Windows 95 in just 2 months. In March 1995, the author Simon Rogerson opened the first ETHICOMP conference with these words: We live in a turbulent society where there is social, political, economic and technological turbulence ... it is causing a vast amount of restructuring within all these organisations which impacts on individuals, which impacts on the way departments are set up, organisational hierarchies, job content, span of control, social interaction and so on and so forth. ... Information is very much the fuel of modern technological change. Almost anything now can be represented by the technology and transported to somewhere else. It's a situation where the more information a computer can process, the more of the world it can actually turn into information. That may well be very exciting, but it is also very concerning. That could be describing today. More than 25 years later, these issues are still at the forefront of how ethical digital technology can be developed and utilised. This book is an anthology of the author’s work over the past 25 years of pioneering research in digital ethics. It is structured into five themes: Journey, Process, Product, Future and Education. Each theme commences with an introductory explanation of the papers, their relevance and their interrelationship. The anthology finishes with a concluding chapter which summarises the key messages and suggests what might happen in the future. Included in this chapter are insights from some younger leading academics who are part of the community charged with ensuring that ethical digital technology is realised.

Introduction to Business Ethics by Gilad James Pdf

Business ethics is an important aspect of modern-day business operations. It refers to the moral principles and values that dictate how business activities should be conducted. The concept of business ethics encompasses a broad range of practices, including transparency, honesty, respect for human rights, fair labor practices, environmental stewardship, and ethical leadership. Business ethics is important for both the internal and external stakeholders of an organization. Internally, businesses that prioritize ethical practices have been found to enjoy higher employee morale, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. Externally, ethical business practices can help build a positive reputation, foster customer loyalty, and increase long-term profitability. There are several critical factors that have contributed to the emergence of business ethics as a cornerstone of modern business practices. These factors include growing public awareness and concern about ethical issues, increasing regulatory and legal requirements, and evolving social and moral norms. This has led to the development of corporate social responsibility, which recognizes the responsibility of organizations to act in a socially responsible manner, taking into account the impact of their activities on the environment, society, and the economy. In conclusion, business ethics has become a fundamental concept in contemporary business operations, with its contribution going beyond just financial profits. It emphasizes the role of organizations in society and emphasizes the importance of operating in a just and equitable manner that respects the interests of all stakeholders. Overall, businesses that prioritize ethical practices demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices that promote the well-being of society as a whole. The success of these businesses is rooted in their ability to balance profitability with a wider social agenda. As businesses continue to evolve and adapt to an ever-changing landscape, it is clear that business ethics will remain a cornerstone of responsible and sustainable business practices. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Definition of Business Ethics, Importance of Business Ethics Ethical Theories: Consequentialist Theories, Non-Consequentialist Theories Ethical Decision Making: The Ethical Decision Making Process, The Role of Ethics in Decision Making Corporate Social Responsibility: What is Corporate Social Responsibility, The Importance of Corporate Social Responsibility, The Role of Stakeholders in Corporate Social Responsibility Ethics and Management: Leadership and Ethics, Employee Ethics, Ethics in Marketing, Ethics in Finance, Ethics in Information Technology Ethics and Sustainability: What is Sustainability, Why Sustainability is Important, The Role of Business Ethics in Achieving Sustainability Ethics and Globalization: Cultural Issues in Business Ethics, Global Business Ethics Ethics and Risk Management: Ethics and Risk, Ethical Risk Assessment Ethics and Law: Legal Issues in Business Ethics, Regulatory Compliance Ethics and Philanthropy: Charitable Giving and Business Ethics, Corporate Philanthropy and Social Responsibility Conclusion: Summary of Topics Covered and The Future of Business Ethics.

Business Ethics from Antiquity to the 19th Century by David George Surdam Pdf

This book combines elements of economic and business history to study business ethics from antiquity to the nineteenth century. This book begins with so-called primitive people, showing how humans began to exchange goods and commodities from trade as a way to keep peace and prosper. The ancients considered the value and ethics of business, and many of their reflections influenced medieval Catholic thinkers and business participants. Protestants elevated working and profit-making to the respectable and virtuous, and some groups, such as Quakers, came to exemplify good business ethics. This book draws on the work of economists and historians to highlight the importance of changing technologies, religious beliefs, and cultural attitudes, showing that what is considered ethical differs across time and place.

Advancing Business Ethics Education by Diane L. Swanson,Dann G. Fisher Pdf

This book features sixteen chapters written by distinguished scholars who collectively point to a roadmap for advancing business ethics education at a critical juncture in the history of corporate America. The editors frame the book with an introductory chapter that details a gold standard for delivering ethics in the business school curriculum that signals to students that ethics matters, provides an adequate counterbalance to the amoral subtext that dominates much of business education, remedies assessment problems associated with current accrediting standards, and prepares students for newly minted and fast-growing careers in ethics compliance, risk management, and corporate social responsibility. The chapters that follow lay out some challenges and opportunities that administrators and educators need to address in order to improve business ethics education and business school reputations in a post-Enron climate. Both traditional and experimental perspectives on delivering ethics in the curriculum are covered in conjunction with research that substantiates the potential for improving student ethics competencies after exposure to ethics coursework. Methods for incorporating ethics in various subjects, including accounting, corporate governance, environmentalism, global business, managerial decision making, and human resource management are also given as part of the roadmap for advancing business ethics education.
