The Applicable Western Ethical View?

The Western ethical tradition is rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, which developed both intuitionism and virtue ethics. The enlightenment age developed social contract theory, utilitarianism, and ultimately Kantian construction. All of these schools (approaches) play a role in examining and developing the ethics of business interactions and what we should consider as ethical norms for business. It is, of course, questionable whether this “Western ethical thought” sufficiently permeates business so that what we term as “evil” in business is adequately avoided.
