On the scope and limits of Ethics in business – (2015)

When dealing with the discrepancy between the pursuit of shareholders and other values, it depends largely on how we understand the term "shareholder value". According to a seemingly attractive interpretation of the concept of "shareholder value" [footnoteRef: 3], it is only measured at each time point by the price that the stock exchange presents. The so-called "effective capital market hypothesis" (see this article, in a critical and general way, Fox 2011), the market will provide the best judgment at any point. Administrators should do as much as possible, so administrators seeking shareholder value should focus on increasing the market capitalization of the company. [Footnotes: 4] [3: What is "expression" - the concept before the theory is replaced by a similar, more accurate, theoretically productive simple concept. For a detailed introduction of this basic philosophical "technique" explicitly proposed by Rudolf Carnap, see Alchurron and Bulygin in 1971. ] [4: The problem of the sum of the value of a single stock or the value of all issues should increase. Issuance or redemption of new shares may affect this. ]

Finally, in § 2.6, I discussed the scope of situationalism. According to Doris, the scope of situationalism is mostly "real" - that is. Moral psychology aimed at moral theory. He opposed this "field of practice". It has a theoretical "ethical field" to discuss the moral value that we should retain. According to Doris, the situationist can empirically provide sufficient moral and psychological science, and help people to make better decisions and actions in certain situations. Philosophical contextualism is a methodology and among philosophers called stateists, criticize the existence of virtue ethics, to influence personality, virtue and practical wisdom, the results of psychological experiments There are things to use. concept

The basis of this difference between "practical" moral psychology and "theory" ethical theory is Doris's view on the scope of these "fields". According to Doris (theoretical conclusion) it is so general that it rarely appears in our prescription on how to act in certain situations (Doris 2002, 109). In some cases it is often difficult to use orders, virtues, etc. as a guiding principle, as it does not take into consideration the individual characteristics of each case distinguishing one situation from the other. Contrary to these general theoretical arguments and conclusions, the situation-minded "practical" moral psychology tells us something about how we make decisions. Please explain why you did it. do it. This can be used as a "manual" for future ethical situations, despite discussions of ongoing "theoretical" values.

These questions produced many literature on the theory of ethics and applied ethics. In theory of ethics, the main problem in recent years is how to limit the scope of charity. Regarding application and occupational ethics, many problems have been addressed in the fields of biomedical ethics and business ethics. The word goodwill means compassion, kindness, charity. It means promotion of altruism, love, human nature, the interests of others. In ordinary languages, this concept is broad, but widely understood in ethical theory to effectively include all forms of behavior designed to benefit or promote others' interests. The word of principle or charity rule is a normative statement of moral obligation that acts for the benefit of others and helps them to promote their important and legitimate interests by preventing or eliminating possible harm. .
