| Abstract: | It is questioned what happens when corporate codes of ethics (CCEs) 'go to work', and how moral practice is influenced. The role and the effect of the CCE are still under doubt despite previous research. It is argued that this is predominantly due to previous research being fixed in a position with CCEs being passive artefacts with no capability of bending space, and with agency and morality being limited to the human sphere only. The code comes alive in a heterogeneous materiality, travelling as a result of a wide range of translations, and granted an epistemological capability of influencing humans' world-views and moral practices. The approach is exemplified through a case study on CCE implementation etc. |
