Guest Editors’ Introduction:Human Dignity and Business
本文回顾了尊严的历史概念，阐述了三种尊严解释，并综述了尊严在商业和商业伦理研究中的文献，识别出尊严在范式转变、人权保护和商业实践组织中的关键作用。
ABSTRACT: After a brief historical introduction, three interpretations of dignity in relation to management theory and business ethics are elaborated: Dignity as a general category, Human Dignity as Inherent and Universal, and Human Dignity as Earned and Contingent. Next, two literature reviews are presented under the headings of “Dignity and Business Research” and “Dignity and Business Ethics Research.” The latter discussion identifies three subcategories of business ethics research involving human dignity: the role of dignity as a cornerstone for paradigmatic shifts, the role of dignity as the ‘ultima ratio’ for the protection of human rights, and the role of dignity in organizing business practices. The article concludes with summaries of the three articles chosen for this special section.
