Business Ethics and Crisis
Summary:
A transformation of business ethics discourse in modern-day global crises is discussed in this paper. A new conceptual framework and a different intellectual atmosphere for public ethical discourse have been originated. The main question is of changing perspectives to understand ethical issues in business. The problem requires a broad understanding of business ethics as a systematic handling the values in business. Ethics as a critical discipline /i.e. it makes use of critical analysis/ becomes an important perspective of ethical thinking in a situation of global crisis. Analyses and conclusions are based on methods typical for any interdisciplinary applied-oriented study in humanities: interpretation of viewpoints and texts of public leaders in economics, crisis and ethics; comparative and content analyses of social facts and sociological data are used in consideration.
