Twelve Paths of European Business Ethics
摘要
The purpose of this book is to explore the rich variety in business ethics research and education across a diverse range of European countries. The countries represented in this collection are, in alphabetical order: the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each chapter presents the expert view of individual business ethics scholars in the respective countries. Twelve countries are addressed in this book, representing twelve different ‘paths’ of business ethics, so to speak, because each country’s narrative and history of business ethics is different, with different roots and different problematics. On the other hand, there are many family resemblances between the countries, as there have always been between adjacent and interrelated paths in human history. The perspectives and recollections collected here are those of reflective professionals, and therefore unique, insightful, and bearing the mark of a deep conviction and personal engagement. This is the story of European business ethics told from within. It will be of interest to all business ethics scholars wishing to understand the development of their field.
