Abstract: | From a corporate governance perspective, one of the most important jobs of a firm’s top management team is to create and maintain
a positive moral environment. Business ethics has long been considered a cornerstone in the field of strategic management
and a number of scholars have called for more research in this area over the years. In this paper 658 articles that appeared
in Strategic Management Journal over the 10-year period between 1996 and 2005 are reviewed for business ethics focus and content. The results reveal that
while business ethics research in Strategic Management Journal is on the rise, the overall focus on this research stream has been limited. The most prominent ethics theme during the review
period was environmentalism, accounting for 30% of all ethics articles. Author affiliations, future research directions, and
implications are also discussed. |
