A Backhanded View of Business Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing aberrations of business ethics promoted by two self-proclaimed “theorists.” Albert Carr, Norman Gillespie and Peter Drucker all maintain very different views of the role that ethics and ethical behavior play in the conduct of business. The purpose here is to examine and assess the position of each, determining which approach is the better one to follow. The paper concludes that the international business climate has changed dramatically since the height of Drucker’s writing activity, but the simple rules and common sense he promotes have not. Carr and Gillespie are just plain wrong. Each has invested misplaced energy and thought that perhaps could have been used to produce something worthwhile. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
