A chapter in The Individual in Business Ethics, 2011, pp 1-9 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Today we are witnessing the social and political dominance of large corporations. They provide moral values and business principles for their employees. Moreover, they institutionalize their codes of ethics. The theory of Business Ethics provides moral guidelines and standards for corporate life, and real business organizations apply those standards into practice. The individual employee, as a member of a business organization, accepts those standards. Therefore, it is important to examine the foundation of the individual’s moral value in Business Ethics, in order to understand the basis on which this foundation depends.
