Double-trouble: combining business and ethics

Article Abstract:

That business in the nation tends to be immune to broad social and political concerns is a question worth pondering. Businesses can integrate the value approach into corporate cultures so that opportunities to do good are fully exploited. Corporate enterprises can build more ethical organizations by creating business cultures where considerations other than monetary incentives elicit respect. Ben and Jerry's Homemade Inc is such an example. Its story in Ben Cohen's, Jerry Greenfield's and Meredith Moran's 'Ben and Jerry's Double Dip: Lead with Your Values and Make Money Too' is evaluated.

The feminine firm: a comment

Article Abstract:

The previous paper entitled 'Toward the Feminine Form,' which the author co-wrote with Judith White, has some deficiencies when taking into account current findings. Its main conclusion was that a feminine-oriented company is a more ethical firm based on Gilligan's findings on gender differences in concepts of morality and is more profitable. However, a closer examination indicates that morally oriented companies may hardly be able to survive in a fiercely competitive environment.

Leadership: a discussion about ethics

Article Abstract:

The 18th century industrial paradigm of ethics is inadequate to help solve the ethical leadership dilemmas faced by the postindustrial age and those that may emerge in the future. The ethical frameworks suggested by existing industrial theories of ethics have failed to respond adequately to the changing industrial and social environment. A postindustrial paradigm of ethics and industrial leadership, that may provide new ethical frameworks for the postindustrial age, is presented.
