This book explores how ethics and the moral context of business have evolved


historically in inf luential management theories and concepts. It looks at how


managerial thought accommodates morality, values, and ethics and demonstrates


the emerging patterns of ethical conduct to illustrate how moral aspects


of management and organizational practice can become peripheral.


The author examines a diverse range of data sources such as the most seminal


books in management and academic papers published in the mainstream


academic literature. The readings selected in the process are subject to critical


analysis and are complemented by an exploratory study of the financial services


industry, based on semistructured in-depth interviews. The uniqueness of the


proposed approach comes first from the consolidation of many perspectives


such as management, organization studies, and business anthropology rather


than focusing on one particular subdiscipline; second, from using a mixed


methodology, combining literature reviews with empirical, exploratory research


based on interviews; and third from including a narrative context in the


analysis and proposed future theory framework.


This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars who teach ethics


in the fields of economics or business. It is useful for advancing theory and


research on moral management and as a resource for management practitioners


looking to create business practices fostering moral sensitivity. Those interested


in setting future development directions may also find the proposed


consolidation of theoretical and empirical evidence valuable for the design of


future policies.
