Urban communities in 21st century America are facing severe economic challenges, ones that suggest a mandate to contemplate
serious changes in the way America does business. The middle class is diminishing in many parts of the country, with consequences
for the economy as a whole. When faced with the loss of its economic base, any business community must make some difficult
decisions about its proper role and responsibilities. Decisions to support the community must be balanced alongside and against
responsibilities to owners, shareholders and relevant “stakeholders” in a relatively new context. Corporations in urban communities
“hollowed out” by white flight or urban sprawl must decide what level of support they can and should provide. This paper examines
corporate decisions within the emerging urban prosperity initiatives, using the framework of integrative social contract theory
proposed by Donaldson and Dunfee. We suggest that urban prosperity initiatives present a mandate on corporations sufficiently
strong as to qualify as an authentic norm. Further, we argue that strict adherence to a corporate bottom line approach or “corporate isolationism” is not congruent
with contemporary community standards.

The relationship between individuals’ creativity and their ethical ideologies appears to be complex. Applying Forsyth’s (1980,
1992) personal moral philosophy model which consists of two independent ethical ideology dimensions, idealism and relativism,
we hypothesized and found support for a positive relationship between creativity and relativism. It appears that creative
people are less likely than non-creative people to follow universal rules in their moral decision making. However, contrary
to our hypothesis and the general stereotype that creative people are less caring about others, we found a positive relationship
between creativity and idealism. These findings indicate that highly creative people are likely to be what Forsyth called
“situationists,” individuals with both an ethic of caring and a pragmatic moral decision-making style. The finding that creative
individuals tend to be situationists, and particularly that they tend to be high in idealism, appears to refute the line of
reasoning that argues for a “creative personality” characterized in part by social insensitivity. Understanding the relationship
between creativity and ethical ideologies has important implications for researchers, managers and teachers. 相似文献

Union security has long been an industrial relations controversy. While compulsory unionism supporters say it benefits the
working class, right-to-work advocates denounce it as an unethical infringement of individual rights and freedom. Unfortunately,
neither side has adequately addressed the shortcomings of their viewpoint, nor the broader worker concerns about effective
representation beyond just “unionism”. In this paper, we examine the ethical and practical problems of compulsory (union security)
and voluntary (right-to-work) unionism and propose a new resolution, compulsory proportional representation, that has the
advantages of: (a) ensuring workers’ freedom to associate or not associate, (b) promoting freedom to contract, (c) allowing
free competition in representation in line with anti-trust principles, (d) improving industrial peace and efficiency, (e)
enhancing fairness and social justice, and (f) addressing the employer–employee power imbalance. It is superior to either
voluntary unionism, which often lead to management unilateralism, or compulsory unionism, where workers are compelled to join
unions against their will.

This paper seeks to analyze and to motivate a trend toward virtue ethics and away from deontology in the business ethics account
of organizational loyalty. Prevailing authors appeal to “transcendent” values (deontology), skepticism (there is no loyalty),
or Aristotelianism (loyalty is seeking mutual self-interest). I argue that the “Aristotelian” view clears up the “egoist”
difficulty with loyalty. Briefly, critics feel we must “transcend,” “replace,” “overcome” and most especially sacrifice self-interest on the altar of ethics and loyalty. I argue that few things can be more ethical than loyalty to shared values.
When a company and I both pursue the same value X, there becomes no difference between my seeking my best interest and my
seeking the best interest of the company (and vice versa). Hence, the way out of the egoist difficulty with loyalty is seeing
a company’s interests as my own (Aristotle’s third stage of friendship). 相似文献

Variations in entrepreneurship 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
William B. Gartner 《Small Business Economics》2008,31(4):351-361
This article is written in the style of a “bildungsroman,” a fictional autobiographical “coming of age story” about the author’s
experiences of his beginning to recognize the: great diversity of entrepreneurs, many types of startup firms, multiple ways
entrepreneurs go about starting firms, and innumerable situations in which entrepreneurial activity takes place. In this remembrance
of things past, the author realizes: the phenomenological underpinnings of his understanding of entrepreneurship, his belief
in the primacy of facts as the arbiter of theory, that his theory predisposed him to look only for certain kinds of facts
and ignore others which then makes theory paradoxically the arbiter of the facts found, and, finally, that knowledge is hard
won and wisdom elusive.

The economic theory of the consumer, which assumes individual satisfaction as its goal and individual freedom to pursue satisfaction
as its sine qua non, has become an important ideological element in political economy. Some have argued that the political dimension of economics
has evolved into a kind of “secular theology” that legitimates free market capitalism, which has become a kind of “religion”
in the United States [Nelson: 1991, Reaching for Heaven on Earth: The Theological Meaning of Economics. (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc, Savage, Maryland); 2001, Economics as Religion: From Samuelson to Chicago and Beyond (The Pennsylvania State University Press, University Park, Pennsylvania); Thurow: 1983, Dangerous Currents: The State of Economics (Random House, New York); Milbank: 1990, Theology and Social Theory, Beyond Secular Reason (Basil Blackwell, Cambridge, Massachusetts)]. Consumer theory in its ideological form provides an important base for this
religion and is no longer merely a positive framework for understanding consumer choice or estimating market demand. The paper
explores the view of the human being, the “anthropology,” that is implicit in the economic theory of the consumer and compares
its “theological” implications with the corresponding theological anthropologies in the Judaeo-Christian tradition. The paper
outlines the assumptions of consumer theory and then focuses on three aspects of the theory from a critical theological perspective:
the individual in community, property ownership, and human destiny (or “eschatology” in theological terminology). The principal
conclusion is that consumer theory, viewed from this perspective, leads to a reductionist and existentially harmful view of
human beings. The maximization of individual satisfaction raises genuine ethical issues when viewed as a political and religious
value. The paper argues that the issues could be ameliorated if economists would include more explicit treatment of a social
dimension and ethical alternatives in consumer theory and if theologians would give greater attention to economic theory.

The study of corporate social responsibility has been the object of much research in recent decades, although there is a need
to continue investigating its benefits as a marketing tool. In the current work we adopt a multi-dimensional perspective of
social responsibility, and we carry out market research to determine the perceptions of users of mobile telephone services
about economic, legal, ethical and social aspects of their operating companies. With these data we determine the structure
and components of the concept of social responsibility. Subsequently, this is related with the overall evaluation of the service
and loyalty by means of a model of structural equations, in order to determine the influence of corporate social responsibility
on these concepts, and hence its benefits as a commercial tool.

After experiments with various economic systems, we appear to have conceded, to misquote Winston Churchill that “free enterprise
is the worst economic system, except all the others that have been tried.” Affirming that conclusion, I shall argue that in
today’s expanding global economy, we need to revisit our mind-sets about corporate governance and leadership to fit what will
be new kinds of free enterprise. The aim is to develop a values-based model for corporate governance in this age of globalization
that will be appropriate in a variety of challenging cultural and economic settings. I shall present an analysis of mental
models from a social constructivist perspective. I shall then develop the notion of moral imagination as one way to revisit
traditional mind-sets about values-based corporate governance and outline what I mean by systems thinking. I shall conclude
with examples for modeling corporate governance in multi-cultural settings and draw tentative conclusions about globalization.

This study investigates the possible effects of self-concept, self-monitoring, and moral development level on dimensions of
consumers’ ethical attitudes. “Actively benefiting from illegal activities,” “actively benefiting from deceptive practices,”
and “no harm/no foul 1–2” are defined by factor analysis as four dimensions of Turkish consumers’ ethical attitudes. Logistic
regression analysis is applied to data collected from 516 Turkish households. Results indicate that self-monitoring and moral
development level predicted consumer ethics in relation to “actively benefiting from questionable practices” and “no harm/no
foul” dimensions. Actual self-concept is also a predictor variable in relation to “no harm/no foul” dimension. Age and gender
make significant differences in consumers’ ethical attribute dimensions. 相似文献

This paper explores the level of obligation called for by Milton Friedman’s classic essay “The Social Responsibility of Business
is to Increase Profits.” Several scholars have argued that Friedman asserts that businesses have no or minimal social duties
beyond compliance with the law. This paper argues that this reading of Friedman does not give adequate weight to some claims
that he makes and to their logical extensions. Throughout his article, Friedman emphasizes the values of freedom, respect
for law, and duty. The principle that a business professional should not infringe upon the liberty of other members of society
can be used by business ethicists to ground a vigorous line of ethical analysis. Any practice, which has a negative externality
that requires another party to take a significant loss without consent or compensation, can be seen as unethical. With Friedman’s
framework, we can see how ethics can be seen as arising from the nature of business practice itself. Business involves an
ethics in which we consider, work with, and respect strangers who are outside of traditional in-groups. 相似文献

After having undergone protracted economic doldrums,
Japan has begun to attract the world’s attention. Prime
Minister Shintaro Abe, taking office in September 2006,
pledged to continue his predecessor’s reforms while looking
to closer economic ties with Japan’s neighboring countries.
This paper examines the challenges the Abe administration
must address, the reforms the administration still
needs to tackle, and the problems that lie ahead. It starts
with an evaluation of Japan’s economic condition from a
long-term perspective, especially the drastic change in its
labor market and its rapidly aging society. It then discusses
the unfinished reforms the government is facing—
restored fiscal balances, a less-regulated economy both at
home and abroad, and a new innovation-driven growth
path. In sharp contrast to his single-minded and charismatic predecessor, Prime Minister Abe has taken a less
spectacular and more nuanced stance toward reforms. A
more market-principled Japan will create increased competitive
conditions for economic players in both the private
and public sectors. Japan’s economy will face a precarious
state—swinging between an economy armed with marketbased
principles (but suffering from a “growth pain”) and
an “ugly Japan” that divides the haves and the have-nots.

The German version of federalism, often called “cooperative federalism”, has been identified by many as one of the root causes
of Germany’s becoming Europe’s new sick man. Now, a number of changes in the institutions defining the relationship between
the federal, the state and the local level have been passed. This contribution describes the most important changes and evaluates
them from the point of view of fiscal federalism. It concludes that the changes are only a first step in the right direction,
but a number of important steps have yet to follow.

This paper examines the professions as examples of “moral community” and explores how professional leaders possessed of moral
intelligence can make a contribution to enhance the ethical fabric of their communities. The paper offers a model of ethical
leadership in the professional business sector that will improve our understanding of how ethical behavior in the professions
confers legitimacy and sustainability necessary to achieving the professions’ goals, and how a leadership approach to ethics
can serve as an effective tool for the dissemination of moral values in the organization.

Nearly all studies of consumers’ willingness to engage in ethical or socially responsible purchasing behavior is based on
unconstrained survey response methods. In the present article we ask the question of how well does asking consumers the extent
to which they care about a specific social or ethical issue relate to how they would behave in a more constrained environment
where there is no socially acceptable response. The results of a comparison between traditional survey questions of “intention
to purchase” and estimates of individuals willingness-to-pay for social attributes in products reveal that simple survey questions
are too “noisy” to provide operationally meaningful information and overstate intentions to a considerable extent.

Based on consumer and manufacturer behaviors, this research describes local governments’ unique role in the process of “attracting
foreign direct investment (FDI)”. Drawing from a sample of 28 provinces plus four cities throughout China from 1998 to 2004,
we construct an econometric model in this paper to analyze the common factors that influenced the result of “attracting FDI”.
The main finding of this paper is that in the process of “attracting FDI”, local governments play a decisive role, which puts
consumer surplus, producer surplus and the other social welfare into a basket to construct its plan for “attracting FDI”.
The common factors which influence the result of “attracting FDI” are local costs, the number of foreign-invested company,
the market share of local companies, and the market share of foreign-invested companies.

In the academic world, research has indicated that “good ethics is good business.” Such research seems to indicate that firms,
which emphasize ethical values and social responsibilities, tend to be more profitable than others. Generally, the profitability
is credited to the firm’s positive relationships with its customers, reduced costs of attempting to rebuild a tarnished image,
ease of attracting capital, etc. The research conducted in this study evaluated salespeople’s perceptions of the ethics of
businesses in general, their employer’s ethics, their attitudes as consumers, and the relationships existing between these
perceptions and the sale force’s job satisfaction and turnover intentions. The results show a positive relationship existing
between salesperson perceptions of business ethics, his/her employer’s ethics, consumer attitudes, and the salesperson’s job
satisfaction and reduced turnover intentions.

Forsyth (J Pers Soc Psychol 39(1):175–184, 1980) argued that ethical ideology includes the two orthogonal dimensions of relativism and idealism. Relativists determine morality
by looking at the complexities of the situation rather than relying on universal moral rules, while idealists believe that
positive consequences can always be obtained without harming others. This study examined the role of ethical ideology as a
moderator between justice and constructive and deviant reactions to injustice. Students with work experience (N = 200) completed Bennett and Robinson’s (J Appl Psychol 85(3):349–360, 2000) measure of Workplace Deviance, Gill’s (Reactions to injustice: Development and validation of a measure. Unpublished doctoral
dissertation, University of Western Ontario, 2005) Reactions to Injustice measure, and the Ethics Position Questionnaire (Forsyth, 1980), and provided ratings of justice in their own workplace. Hierarchical regressions revealed a significant main effect of
idealism on deviance and constructive behaviors, and three-way interactions between idealism, relativism, and some types of
justice. These findings suggest that ethical ideology plays a significant role in predicting responses to injustice. 相似文献

This paper examines one nascent entrepreneurial endeavour intended by Canada’s Stem Cell Network to catalyze the commercialization
of stem cell research: the creation of a company called “Aggregate Therapeutics”. We argue that this initiative, in its current
configuration, is likely to result in a breach of public trust owing to three inter-related concerns: conflicts of interest;
corporate influence on the university research agenda; and the failure to provide some form of direct return for the public’s
substantial tax dollar investment. These concerns are common to many efforts to commercialize academic science but are rendered
particularly acute in this case given the therapeutic promise of stem cell research and the considerable number of resources
related to stem cell research in Canada, which Aggregate Therapeutics is expected to pool. We do, however, believe that the
company can be altered to guard against a violation of the public’s trust, and so we present concrete modifications to its
structure, which we contend should be given immediate consideration.
