Abstract: Abstract While the concept of integrity has long been explored by great philosophers and thinkers, its application in modern and postmodern business and economic contexts has been underdeveloped. Little have been done to address the vagueness and paradoxicality of integrity and its shadow reality of counterfeits. The thematic collection, which this paper complements, entitled ‘Integrity and Its Counterfeits: Implications for Economy, Business and Management’, makes a contribution towards filling the gap between the abstract concept of integrity and its application into business and economy, with a particular attention on the ambiguous, equivocal and diverse meanings of the concept, the complex and dynamic practicality of integrity, and the grey and dark areas of business out of integrity. This article introduces the background of the research theme and provides exemplary debates and emerging avenues of discussion on this topic.
