Abstract: | This article reviews the concept of moral responsibility in business ethics and examines the seven previous articles (of the magazine) using several types of responsibility in business as the overriding construct to gain a fuller understanding of the ethical impact of these articles. The types of responsibility that are used in this analysis are: legal, corporate, managerial, social, stakeholder, and societal. Observations about how normative ethical principles might also be applied to these articles are also advanced. This article concludes with a call for more conceptual and empirical research into the notion of responsibility in business. |
