It combines lessons from Kant with virtue ethics and also touches upon additional approaches such as utilitarianism. At the core of the book lies the concept of the “nexus of imperfect managerial duty.” This consists of the creation and reinforcement of virtuous managerial teams, engagement of discourse among all stakeholders, and pursuit of business responsibilities including the creative efforts necessary for modern organizations. A variety of special problems in managerial ethics are also explored, such as the ethics of managerial paternalism, fairness in stakeholder negotiations, devolution of business into scandalous corruption, and the role of boycotts in society’s shaping of managerial duties. Case illustrations of these applications are presented throughout the book including in chapter appendices. A series of brief-answer questions, essay questions, and discussion questions are presented at the end of each chapter. Links to relevant video presentations of lectures applicable for each chapter are also provided.Springer Texts in Business and Economics,2192-4341Business ethicsStrategic planningLeadershipPhilosophyManagementBusiness EthicsBusiness Strategy and LeadershipPhilosophy of ManagementBusiness ethics.Strategic planning.Leadership.Philosophy.Management.Business Ethics.Business Strategy and Leadership.Philosophy of Management.174.4Robinson Richard M.1948-1218033MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910874692303321Business Ethics: Kant, Virtue, and the Nexus of Duty4230804UNINA03338nam 22004933 450 991015895240332120230801235413.097817862538041786253801(CKB)3710000001011478(MiAaPQ)EBC4807340(Au-PeEL)EBL4807340(CaPaEBR)ebr11348159(OCoLC)974582845(Perlego)3018191(EXLCZ)99371000000101147820210901d2012 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNaval Support To Grant's Campaign Of 1864-651st ed.San Francisco :Golden Springs Publishing,2012.©2012.1 online resource (48 pages)Intro -- Table Of Contents -- ABSTRACT -- INTRODUCTION -- THEATER OF WAR SETTING -- THE CAMPAIGN -- ANALYSIS -- Intellectual Component -- Psychological-Physical Component -- Cybernetic Component -- Harmonic Component -- CONCLUSIONS -- APPENDIX A -- APPENDIX B -- APPENDIX C -- BIBLIOGRAPHY.By 1863, the Civil War was basically a stalemate between the two belligerents. Though the Union forces had achieved some success in conducting joint expeditions that resulted in securing the Mississippi River and the majority of the Southern ports, the major land armies of the Union were generally ineffective. In March 1864, General Ulysses S. Grant was named General-in-Chief of the Union army; he designed a campaign for future operations that called for synchronized operations by the Union armies supported by the Union navy. This monograph examines the naval support to Grant's campaign to determine whether or not the provided support was by design or just coincidence.The monograph initially establishes the theater of war setting that Grant inherited when he assumed the billet of General-in-Chief. This is followed by a summary of the campaign from a naval perspective. The monograph concludes with an analysis of the naval support provided to the campaign using the four components of a successful campaign espoused in Lieutenant Colonel James Dubik's "A Guide to the Study of Operational Art and Campaign Design."Based on the analysis, it is evident that the naval support was provided by design. Grant demonstrated an extraordinary ability to visualize operations in the entire theater of war. He fully understood and appreciated the usefulness of the sea dimension and exploited its use. The Union navy's command of the seas and resourcefulness allowed Grant to maintain his freedom of action, to operate from secure bases of operation, and to destroy the South's capacity to wage war.
