| Tiivistelmä: | Recognising that traditional normative perspectives on ethics are limited in application in entrepreneurial (henceforth as: e-prial.) contexts, a stream of research has theorized entrepreneurship (here as: e-ship.) and ethics as the pragmatic production of useful effects through the alignment of public-private values. This study critiques this view using Kant's concept of reflective judgement as discussed in his 'Critique of the Power of Judgement' to theorize ethical e-prial. practice as the capacity to routinely get free from current conventions etc. By an analysis of the narratives of 12 entrepreneurs, there are suggested to be three dimensions to reflective judgement in e-prial. contexts: 1. Social performance, 2. Public challenge and, 3. Personal autonomy. While the entrepreneurs were alive to the importance of commercial return, their narratives demonstrated further concern for, and commitment to, standards that they felt to be appropriate. The findings are integrated into existing theoretical categories from e-ship. studies to better appreciate ethics within the context of value creation. |
