Rethinking Business Ethics: A Pragmatic Approach

by Sandra B. Rosenthal, Rogene A. Buchholz

Using classical American pragmatism, the authors provide a philosophical framework for rethinking the nature of the corporation--how it is embedded in its natural, technological, cultural, and international environments, emphasizing throughout its pervasive relational and moral dimensions. They explore the relationship of this framework to other contemporary business ethics perspectives, as well as its implications for moral leadership in business and business education.

[John · Rating 2 out of 5]

Parts are readable and usable, but mostly the delivery is a bit muddled in academic abstraction.
It's also too bad that the pragmatism-based rethinking of business ethics that is undertaken is more or less based on a special proprietary flavour of pragmatism worked out in a previous book by Rosenthal.
