In a sharp break with traditional approaches to business ethics, Heath argues that the basic principles of corporate social responsibility are already implicit in the institutional norms that structure both marketplace competition and the modern business corporation. In four new and nine previously published essays, Heath articulates the foundations of a "market failures" approach to business ethics. Rather than bringing moral concerns to bear upon economic activity as a set of foreign or externally imposed constraints, this approach seeks to articulate a robust conception of business ethics derived solely from the basic normative justification for capitalism. The result is a unified theory of business ethics, corporate law, economic regulation, and the welfare state, which offers a reconstruction of the central normative preoccupations in each area that is consistent across all four domains. Beyond the core theory, Heath offers new insights on a wide range of topics in economics and philosophy, from agency theory and risk management to social cooperation and the transaction cost theory of the firm"--Provided by publisher.Business ethicsProfitMoral and ethical aspectsCompetitionCorporationsMoral and ethical aspectsBusiness ethics.ProfitMoral and ethical aspects.Competition.CorporationsMoral and ethical aspects.174/.4PHI005000BUS008000bisacshHeath Joseph1967-997761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791017303321Morality, competition, and the firm3692219UNINA
