Religious business ethics and political liberalism: an integrative approach
Article Abstract:
Religious business ethics are consistent with the idea of political liberalism if businesses are purely private, but are inappropriate if businesses are purely public. Since corporations are considered quasi-public, religious business ethics are inappropriate in some situations based on the context of political liberalism. Thus, managers can still invoke upon religious sources for promoting specific business policies.
