Does Business Ethics Rest on a Mistake?

John R. Boatright

Business Ethics Quarterly, 1999, vol. 9, issue 4, 583-591

Abstract: This presidential address to the Society for Business Ethics argues that business ethics rests upon the mistaken assumption that teaching and research in the field ought to aim at the incorporation of ethics into managerial decision making. An alternative to this Moral Manager Model is a Moral Market Model, in which the aim is to develop markets that produce ethical outcomes. The differences between the two models are discussed with reference to the themes of responsibility, participation, and relationships.
