Marcel A. G. Meerhaeghe

Chapter 7. in Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900), 2006, pp 137-143 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Business ethics, a relatively new concept, is dominated by the theory of the categorical imperative (Kant) and by utilitarianism. This paper examines whether Nietzsche’s ideas would not be a better means of explaining the business world.
