Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensethik, Wirtschaftsethik, Note: 1,3, Universität Hohenheim (Institut für Kulturwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Frage nach Moral und Ethik in einer globalisierten Wirtschaft stellt sich immer häufiger. Der Staat verliert mehr und mehr an Einfluss und es ist kaum möglich länderübergreifende Regeln für einen fairen und humanen Wettbewerb aufzustellen. In den Medien wird über Korruption und Massenentlassungen trotz steigender Gewinne beinahe täglich berichtet. Die Unternehmen, hier besonders die Großen, haben mit einem extremen Vertrauensverlust zu kämpfen, der sich neben Imageschäden deutlich in der Bilanz niederschlägt. Wie ist diesem Werteverfall in der Wirtschaft nun zu begegnen? Ist es überhaupt möglich in einem gewinnmaximierenden System moralisch zu handeln? Die Relevanz von Ethik und Moral in der Wirtschaft lässt sich an verschiedenen Beispielen deutlich machen. Bei Shell, die Mitte der 90iger Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts mit den Folgen der langwierigen Diskussion über das „Nichtversenken“ der Ölplattform „Brent Spar“ zu kämpfen hatten, oder bei Nike, die aufgrund von Kinderarbeit bei ihren Zulieferern unter enormen Druck gerieten. Durch moralisches, ethisches Handeln hätten sich diese Unternehmen den Problemen nicht aussetzten müssen. Doch ist moralisches Handeln immer möglich? Diese Frage ist nicht Gegenstand dieser Arbeit und soll hier nicht erörtert oder beantwortet werden. Im Bereich der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik gibt es im deutschsprachigen Raum verschiedene Ansätze. Im Rahmen meiner Seminararbeit werde ich die „Theorie der Governanceethik “ von Josef Wieland vorstellen und sie auf den wohl bekanntesten Fall der Wirtschaftskriminalität anwenden: den Fall Enron.
Book Synopsis The Moralization of the Markets by : Christoph Henning
Download or read book The Moralization of the Markets written by Christoph Henning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing affects the modern economy (and society) more than decisions made in the market place, especially, but not only, decisions made by consumers. Although it is not startling to suggest that decisions made in production are affected by choices consumers make, consumers have long been viewed, not only by academic economists, as individual, isolated rational actors that make or refrain from purchases purely on the basis of narrow financial considerations. Markets are not and never were morally neutral. Market relations have always had an often taken-for-granted moral underpinning. The moralization of the markets refers to the dissolution and replacement of the conventional moral underpinnings of market conduct, for example, in the music market, financial markets, and corporate governance. It further implies not only the heightened importance of new ethical precepts, but the significant change in the role of moral ideals in market behavior. These profound transformations of economic conduct are accompanied and co-determined by societal conflicts. The moralization of markets represents thus a new stage in the social evolution of markets. The book is divided into four parts, in which the twelve chapters, written by contributors from different social science disciplines, deal with the context of the moralization of the markets; the major social institutions; and present case studies that examine European and American attitudes and behavior towards tobacco and GMO; expansion of the private and ethics in business; and how workers respond to the new corporate norms. This volume will be of interest to sociologists, economists, social scientists, and the general consumer alike.

Book Synopsis A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility by : Güler Aras
Download or read book A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility written by Güler Aras and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current economic situation has highlighted deficiencies in corporate governance while also showing the importance of stakeholder relations. It has also raised the profile of the debates regarding corporate social responsibility and shown the inter-relationship with governance. And the two together are essential for sustainable business. The social and environmental contexts of business are generally considered to be as significant as the economic and financial contexts and good governance will address all of these aspects. The combination of these aspects offers long term benefits for a firm, such as reducing risk and attracting new investors, shareholders and more equity as well as sustainable performance. Written by experts from all over the world, A Handbook of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility is the most authoritative single-volume guide to the relationship between good governance and social responsibility and the reality of managing both. In addition to the theory and practice of governance and CSR, the book includes case studies from large and small organizations and NGOs to highlight examples of good and bad practice, and to show international and cultural similarities and differences while at the same time furthering the debate regarding the relationship between good governance and social responsibility.

Book Synopsis Standards and Audits for Ethics Management Systems by : Josef Wieland
Download or read book Standards and Audits for Ethics Management Systems written by Josef Wieland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The articles collected in this volume deal with the contents and processes of good corporate practice. Their common question is how moral values and ethical demands can become an integral part of economic and corporate deci sions- in a way that is credible and comprehensible for the society. Generally accepted best practice or minimum requirements for codes of conduct matter in this context. They codify values like integrity, fairness, openness, honesty, truthfulness, solidarity and justice, which have to be im plemented in a company's day-to-day business. In one sentence: There is a need to develop criteria for seriosity and credibility, for evaluating and con trolling standards of conduct and the managerial systems created for this purpose. In the international arena terms like Ethics management system, Ethics program, Values program, Ethics audit and Social audit are in use to denote these management systems. In this context it seems to me that the European perspective results from the values driven integration of corporate govern ance (e.g. risk management, compliance), quality management (e.g. human capital, supply chain) and corporate citizenship (human rights, ecology, so cial responsibility, communitiy) into a comprehensive and consistent man agement decision system. The core value and common denominator of these areas is sustainability. This, for instance, as opposed to narrow compliance programs that are largely law driven, to use a distinction which Lynn S. Paine introduced.
Book Synopsis Governanceethik nach Josef Wieland by : Elena Khomeriki
Download or read book Governanceethik nach Josef Wieland written by Elena Khomeriki and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Recht, Note: 1,0, Universität Kassel (Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Grundpositionen der Wirtschaftsethik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge der zunehmenden Globalisierung übernehmen die Unternehmen eine ökonomische und politische Funktion in der entstehenden Weltökonomie und Weltgesellschaft, was eine veränderte Wertproblematik bewirkt. Dies wirft eine Reihe von Fragen auf, ob die Unternehmen ihre ordnungspolitische Funktion in Übereinstimmung mit ihren wirtschaftlichen Aufgaben verantwortlich und legitim erfüllen können. Heutzutage stehen die Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung unternehmensweit gültige Werte festzusetzen, da durch die verschiedensten Einflüsse die moralischen Werte und Normen verflechten und teilweise verschwimmen. Dies wiederum kann zu Spannungen und Konflikten im Unternehmen, zwischen den Unternehmen oder zwischen den Unternehmen und der Gesellschaft führen, welche in den Bereichen ökonomischpolitischer, rechtlicher, gesellschaftlicher oder auch religiöser und kultureller Differenzen ihren Ursprung haben. Ein wirtschaftlich, ethisch und politisch korrektes Verhalten, das spezifisch für das Unternehmen zu definieren ist (Governanceethik, Unternehmensethik), ist demnach nicht nur erwünscht, sondern geradezu eine grundlegende Voraussetzung für ein erfolgreich auf dem Weltmarkt platziertes Unternehmen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, die Grundsätze der Theorie der Governanceethik anhand der Forschung von Josef Wieland darzustellen sowie ihre praktische Anwendung am Beispiel des Wertemanagements der BASF-Gruppe zu bewerten und die Problemfelder aufzuzeigen. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist in fünf Kapiteln gegliedert. Nachdem im zweiten Kapitel die Grundlagen der Governanceethik aus wissenschaftlicher, philosophischer und ökonomischer Perspektive dargestellt werden, wird im dritten Kapitel ein zusammengefasster Überblick über die Definition und
Book Synopsis Biolaw, Economics and Sustainable Governance by : Erick Valdés
Download or read book Biolaw, Economics and Sustainable Governance written by Erick Valdés and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an accurate and updated approach to the main contributions of cosmopolitan biolaw in relation to sustainability, global governance, organizational health care economics and COVID-19. Bringing together different robust and dense biojuridical epistemologies to analyze key bioethical problems as well as the health care, management, economics and sustainability issues of our time, it constitutes a paradigmatic text in its field. In addition to exploring different epistemologies and jurisdictional scopes of biolaw, including the relationships between this new field and the challenges which have arisen in the current globalized and technologized world, the book addresses controversial issues straight from today’s headlines: for example, the basics for health care, finance and organizational economics, global biojuridical principles for governance, globalization, bioscientific empowerment, global and existential risk and sustainability challenges for a post-pandemic world. The book encourages readers to think impartially in order to know and understand the bioethical and biojuridical dilemmas that stem from current economics and sustainability issues. Accordingly, it will be a valuable resource for courses in the fields of biolaw, law, bioethics, global sustainability, organizational health care economics and global governance at different professional levels.
Book Synopsis Business Ethics and Risk Management by : Christoph Luetge
Download or read book Business Ethics and Risk Management written by Christoph Luetge and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores various aspects of risk taking. It offers an analysis of financial, entrepreneurial and social risks, as well as a discussion of the ethical implications of empirical findings. The main issues examined in the book are the financial crisis and its implications for business ethics. The book discusses unethical behaviour as a reputational risk (e.g., in the case of Goldman Sachs) and the question is raised as to what extent the financial crisis has changed the banks’ entrepreneurial strategy. The book presents an analysis of the reasons leading to the crisis and identifies them as ethical dilemma structures. In addition, it looks at general questions regarding ethical behaviour and risk taking, such as: To what extent does the social embeddedness or abstraction play a role in guaranteeing ethical behaviour? What conclusions can be drawn from institutional or evolutionary perspectives on risk management? Finally, the book discusses further issues that become factors of risk within and between societies, such as work insecurity, corruption or the problem of facilitation payments as a risk in international transactions.

Book Synopsis Business Ethics - A Philosophical and Behavioral Approach by : Christian A. Conrad
Download or read book Business Ethics - A Philosophical and Behavioral Approach written by Christian A. Conrad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this textbook we examine the extent to which moral values play a role as productive forces for companies and the economy as a whole, and explores the effect of ethical and unethical behavior at both levels. We show how ethics improves productivity, and provide specific ethics tools for practical application for both students and managers. Stemming from an overall interdisciplinary approach, this textbook fills a gap in the literature on ethics in business. Following a textbook structure, we first derive knowledge from scientific studies that are relevant for students, and then summarize the results. We explain ethical assessment approaches, and then provide an ethical assessment of economic behavior using case studies. Roleplaying and games are used to explain the behavior of people in relation to ethics. The 2nd edition has been completely revised and expanded to include new findings from the behavioral sciences (psychology, social psychology, sociology and behavioral economics). In particular, the research on emotions, motivation and group behavior have given rise to many new impulses in business ethics. In addition, new case studies and new chapters were included, like Politics and Morality, Theories of Justice, Global Ethics, and Institutions as Solutions to Specific Game Situations (game theory). This book is important for students and researchers as well as policymakers and business executives due to its focus on applications.
Book Synopsis Relational Economics by : Josef Wieland
Download or read book Relational Economics written by Josef Wieland and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the research agenda of relational economics as a political economy for the governance of local and global economic transactions in modern societies. It analyses the mechanisms of global value creation and production networks by studying cooperation in intra- and inter-firm networks, intersectoral stakeholder management, and transcultural leadership. The author develops a categorical taxonomy for private and public value creation based on the effective and efficient interlinking of, and interaction between, a range of resources and abilities. In contrast to mainstream economics, which largely focuses on the laws of discrete and dyadic exchange transactions, this book assesses the polyvalent characteristics of relational transactions. The chief categories involved in an economic theory of the relations between events are the relational transactions and their various forms of governance; the polycontextual cooperation between economic, political and civil society agents; and the factor incomes and relational rents that relational transactions produce. Today, relational transactions are the rule, not the exception, in modern economies and their global value creation networks. Given its scope and focus, this book will appeal to scholars of economics, economic sociology, organisational studies and related fields.
