Notes:
The key concept in Business Ethics has changed from ‘corporate social responsibility’ to ‘integrated risk-management’. This change, first wrought by American laws, has been extended to other countries through globalization. The most important laws concern corruption, anti-trust, consumer safety, environmental protection and insider-trading. The ‘Federal Corporate Sentencing Guidelines’ have particularly been helpful in identifying and valuing business risks. The author proposes a ‘next-generation’ Business Ethics integrating personal, professional and organizational ethics in the context of an institutionalized, country-sensitive ‘corporate culture’.
