Organizational Ethics and the Good Life

Edwin Hartman argues that ethical priciples should not derive from abstract theory, but from the real world of experience in organizations. He explains how ethical principles derive from what workers learn in their communities (firms), and that an ethical firm is one that creates the good life for the workers who contribute to its mission. His aproach is based on the Aristotelian tradition of refined common sense, from recent work on collective action problems in organizations, and from social contract theory.Hartman, Edwin M. is the author of 'Organizational Ethics and the Good Life' with ISBN 9780195100778 and ISBN 0195100778.
