Applied business ethics (sometimes called business ethics or corporate ethics) is a branch of philosophy that takes the conclusions of moral philosophy, ethics, and looks at how those conclusions should inform the way people conduct business.[1]
Common questions in the applied business ethics field
The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy lists the following common questions that are attempted to be addressed by the business ethics field:[1]
- In whose interests should firms be managed?
- Who should manage them?
- What do firms owe their workers, and what do workers owe their firms?
- What moral rules should guide firms’ engagement with customers?
- Should firms try to solve social problems?
- What responsibility do they have for the behavior of their suppliers?
- What role should firms play in the political process?
