Business meta-ethics: an analysis of two theories

Article Abstract:

The main advantages of a Deontology-Utilitarianism (DU) model in business are that they provide a secure foundation in ethical decision making. Unlike the incomprehensive Utility-Rights-Justice (URJ) model, the DU model asserts a particular relation among the two explanatory variables of balance and complementarity. Thus the traditional DU model not only accounts for the universal and particulars in ethics, it also fills the need for grounding social responsibility in deontological theory.
