A Role for Virtue Ethics in the Analysis of Business Practice

Daryl Koehn

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article explores differences in the ways in which utilitarian, deontological and virtue/aretic ethics treat of act, outcome, and agent. I argue that virtue ethics offers important and distinctive insights into business practice, insights overlooked by utilitarian and deontological ethics.
