Business Ethics: Knowing Ourselves
作者认为避免自欺是伦理分析的前提,但这一努力难以完全成功,甚至可能在组织中产生负面效果,因此商业伦理学者应正视自我审视的困难,并反思大学及商学院自身的类似问题。
Abstract: The author argues that a continuing effort to avoid self-deception is the pre-requisite to any ethical analysis; that this effort cannot be altogether successful; that it is likely to even be dysfunctional in a variety of organizational contexts, perhaps particularly in the context of corporate middle management, but that it ought not therefore be ignored. It is contended that business ethicists should be committed to making the difficulties associated with self-scrutiny explicit. Finally, it is argued that in order to do that legitimately for the corporation, university based business ethicists must be willing to face up to parallel difficulties in the university generally and in the school of business in particular.
