No 13/2001, Working Papers from Copenhagen Business School, Department of Management, Politics & Philosophy

Abstract: For many years, private companies have been intuitively understood as part of the economy in the

same way that political parties are considered a part of politics and museums are considered a part

of art. Today, concepts are linked together in ways that create immediate wonder. We have coupled

concepts such as “the political organisation”, “the learning organisation”, “the expressive

organisation”, “the market-oriented political party“, “investment in ethics”, etc. These concepts

seduce us and produce new horizons for the workings of business but they also engender

scepticism. Is an investment in ethics really ethical? Is a political organisation really social-minded?
