The book examines the history of ideas and purposes\nin education, the contemporary role of business schools, and the social\nfoundations of moral education to conclude that the pragmatic pursuit of the\ngood must be a central aim of business strategy. To meet the challenges of\nfacing society today, the masters of business must be moral craftsmen in a just\nand democratic private property economy that serves the common good. The author\ngrounds this vision for business leadership in the centrality of systems of\nexchange in human society, in generating prosperityand providing for the\ngeneral welfare. Business ethics education has focused primarily on moral\nformation of individual leaders and managers in the context of ethical codes,\norganizational culture, and legal compliance. Important as this approach is, it\nfails to generate a sufficient level of business responsibility to satisfy\nlegitimate social concerns regarding the use of natural resources,\nenvironmental sustainability, reasonable limitation of systemic risk in capital\nmarkets, and fair allocation of goods and services. If the social purpose of\nbusiness is not intentionally embraced and diligently pursued, the economy may\nenrich a few but impoverish the society, its resources, and its democracy.\nHence this book argues for a new vision of business ethics that is\ngrounded in public accountability of business operations and outcomes for the\ncommon good, as a matter of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-11\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319815022\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-33402-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 254\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481192525964,"sku":"9783319815022","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319815022.jpg?v=1775816039","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319815022","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
