The environment, the moralist, the corporation and its culture

Article Abstract:

The Moralist Model suggests a radical restructuring of business corporations to enable them to fulfill their social and environmental obligations. Conventional business ethics are inadequate for incorporating the new ethical responsibilities in the face of current environmental challenges. Empowerment movements, the green movement and changes in societal values are pressing corporations to accept their environmental and ethical obligations. Businesses should meet standards of authority and accountability, rationality, cooperation, democratization, openness and environmentalism.

Marketing and the vulnerable

Article Abstract:

Marketers should be held morally liable for the way they market to their target audience who are specially vulnerable. When there is a clear vulnerable target audience, as distinguished from normal consumers, marketing campaigns should ensure that the specially vulnerable are not treated unfairly. However, whether the vulnerable are harmed or not, violation of the above-mentioned injunction is considered unscrupulous or unethical. The necessary conditions for morally justified market relations are discussed.
