    Ben & Jerry's: A case study in Catholic Social Teaching? (1996)

    Notes: Abstract For more than a century, Popes have spoken to the issue of proper treatment of employees. Through several encyclicals, they have collectively constructed a framework that offers specific guidance for the management of human resources. Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc. is a successful producer of super-premium ice cream. Although it in no way professes to practice Catholic Social Teaching in its management, the parallels between its approach and the Catholic model are striking. This article explores those parallels to contemplate to what extent an organization can realistically implement Catholic Social Teaching in a competitive environment.

    Why management professors (should) teach ethics in the classroom (1996)
    Springer
    International journal of value-based management 9 (1996), S. 141-152 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: business ethics ; moral management ; teaching ethics ; management training ; classroom ethics ; macromorality ; micromorality
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This article explains in comprehensive macro and micro terms why business management professors teach or should be teaching ethics as part of their classroom subject matter. Ten different perspectives, starting with transcendental and global, and ending with departmental and individual, are presented in convincing fashion. Ethics is an extremely popular topic today inside and outside of business schools. This article summarizes why; and it attempts to encourage professors who are not yet a part of the new environmental-ethical era of the 1990s to join the movement.

    Notes: Abstract This paper examines the method of Jewish business ethics. MichaelWalzer, in his work, Interpretation and Social Criticism (1987), suggeststhree common and important approaches to moral philosophy. He labels thesethe path of discovery, the path of invention, and the path ofinterpretation. The first part of this paper argues that Jewish businessethics is best thought of in terms of interpretation. Without question, thereligious ethicist immediately recognizes Walzer‘s metaphor of the moralworld as a ’home occupied by a single family over many generations... ‘as his own. Ethical arguments from a Jewish perspective must of necessityhave a ’lived-in quality‘ and always make reference to and are based on the’memory-laden objects and artifacts.‘ The second part of the paper exploressome of the implications of Jewish business ethics as interpretation.

    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: business ethics ; ethical dilemmas ; moral policies ; principled and pragmatic approach ; responsible decision making ; reconcile different responsibilities ; organizational change ; field of tension
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Several theories exist on how managers think aboutethical responsibilities in a business environment.Some stress the economic way of thinking and explainwhy there is no space for moral reasoning in abusiness environment. Others claim that in a businessenvironment also moral considerations can play animportant role. In this article, we will explore theway managers have actually dealt with potentialdilemmas in organizational change processes,especially changes with drastic consequences foremployees. Do managers consider moral arguments? Dothey feel a moral responsibility towards theiremployees? And in what way do they include a moralresponsibility in the decision process and itsoutcomes? These questions were investigated throughcase studies in two organisations and interviews withsix managers in other companies. The framework whichis used in the research will be described and the mainresults of the field-research will be presented. Wedid find that managers actually strived to some extentfor fair and morally responsible solutions in dilemmasituations, but in another way then we expectedbeforehand. Managers did not base their acting onmoral arguments. Instead they used a more pragmaticapproach wherein acting in a morally responsible wayis based on strategic arguments, such as the positiveeffects for the organisation in the long run.

    Assertion and Consensus Motives in Argumentations (1997)
    Springer
    International journal of value-based management 10 (1997), S. 193-203 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: discourse ethics ; business ethics ; argumentation ; motives ; personality traits
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Fair and non-manipulative argumentation plays a key role in contemporary German ethics and business ethics. The purpose of this paper was to examine the question whether psychological dispositions for this type of communication do exist. In three empirical studies consisting of 839 subjects it was possible to establish four argumentative motives. Furthermore, the data show that these motives are correlated with basic personality traits. These motives have also implications for social integration, rationality, use of information, time demand, and interpersonal trust in business communication. In sum, fair and non-manipulative argumentation is a realistic tool for solving everyday ethical problems. Thus, discourse ethics is not only good for theory but also good for practice.

    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: business ethics ; moral responsibility ; high reliability organizations ; aviation industry ; aircraft maintenance ; safety
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract In this article I will discuss the construction of safety in high reliability organizations. This construction is then evaluated from a moral point of view. I will argue that accidents happening to high reliability organizations make clear that we have to reconceptualize our notion of moral responsibility.

    Managerial Thinking on Value-Based Management (2000)

    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: values ; human nature ; organizational culture ; business ethics ; leadership
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This study explores how managers perceive the issue ofcreating `common values,' what change strategies theyprefer, and their reflection on `value-basedmanagement.'Common values are the glue which binds anorganization together; they motivate and createa sense of community. If properly implemented, theemployees can be trusted in the absence of directrules and regulations. Most managers embrace a holistic view of man on a rhetorical level, but thewell-being of the company has priority in practice.Given these assumptions, held reluctantly orimplicitly, there is little leeway for democraticmanagement.This methodological reduction of man mostlyremains hidden. Without an open discussion, suchshort-term deviations from an ideal situation runthe risk of being a permanent conflict in the companyculture, or lead to an ontological reduction ofman.

    Should You Buy Your Customer's Values? On the Transfer of Moral Values in Industrial Purchasing (2000)
    Springer
    International journal of value-based management 13 (2000), S. 141-158 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-8528
    Keywords: business ethics ; ethics in purchasing ; environmental protection in purchasing
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This article discusses a transfer of moral values between purchasing and supplying organisation in the manufacturing sector. In the first part, the relevant literature is discussed to glean criteria, which could facilitate such a transfer. Given a scarcity of research into ethics in purchasing, the literature review is extended into related fields, such as total quality management, environmental purchasing in retailing and minority vendor programmes in the U.S. In the second part, the question is raised whether such a transfer can at all lay claim to being of moral value. The process is screened against established ethical theories, which are found to support it. Finally, the financial impact of such a policy on the supplier is considered.
