Business Ethics: Kant, Virtue, and the Nexus of Duty
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-85999-2 (ISBN)
This book offers students a philosophical introduction to the ethical foundations of business management. It combines lessons from Kant with virtue ethics and also touches upon additional approaches such as utilitarianism. At the core of the book lies the concept of the nexus of imperfect managerial duty: building and reinforcing the virtuous managerial team, engaging in reasoned discourse among all stakeholders, and diligently pursuing business responsibilities, including the creative efforts necessary for modern organizations.
Case illustrations of these applications are presented throughout the book, including chapter appendices. Ancillary videos, test and answer banks and sample syllabi are available online via the author's website.
Richard M. Robinson is Professor of Business in the Department of Business Administration at the State University of New York (SUNY) Fredonia (USA).
