Ethical decision-making in management : perspectives of the philosopher, the sociologist and the manager  Cover Image Book Book

Ethical decision-making in management : perspectives of the philosopher, the sociologist and the manager / Matej Drašček, Dana Mesner Andolšek and Adriana Rejc Buhovac.

Drašček, Matej, (author.). Mesner-Andolšek, Dana, (author.). Rejc, Adriana, (author.).

Summary:

"Moral pragmatism has been largely ignored in Business Ethics, despite its natural attraction and the fact that it is prominent in philosophy and socio-economic theories. The main premise of the book is that the complexity of today's business world does not permit a grand ethical theory, notwithstanding the different attempts made by scientists. Moral pragmatism is the 'go-to' approach where the ethical decision-making of managers varies dependent on different circumstances but it always integrates moral considerations. Ethical decision-making is no longer based simply on known rules, but entails the constant dynamic interaction of circumstances, the development of new rules, managers' past experiences, their knowledge concerning ethics, and skills of moral reasoning. This book interweaves the postmodern approach to management studies and, based on its innovative research, reintroduces moral pragmatism in Business Ethics. The combination of decision-making theories, philosophy and postmodernism paves the way for future novel research in Business Ethics, making it an excellent resource for researchers, academics, and advanced students in the field of Business Ethics. Practitioners, on the other hand, will benefit by improving their skills in ethical decision-making and leadership"-- Provided by publisher.
