Sosyal sorumluluk anlayışı batı geleneğinden köklenerek toplumsal yaşantımıza girmiş bir anlayıştır. Özellikle 1960'lı yıllar ve takip eden dönem sivil hareketlerin daha yüksek tondan seslerinin duyulduğu yıllar olmuştur. Sivil toplumun hükümetler ve işletmeler üzerinde baskı unsuru olmaya başlaması tüm aktörler nezdinde sosyal sorumluluk farkındalığının artması sonucunu doğurmuştur. Kurumsal sorumluluk, sosyal sorumluluk kavramını da içine alarak şirketlerin iş yapma pratiklerine ve yönetim anlayışlarına etik ekseninde yaklaşımını içerir. Ahilik kurumu ise Anadolu topraklarından köklenen, toplumsal/askeri/ekonomik işlevleri olan bir yapılanma olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Osmanlı Devleti'nde askeri işlevlerini yitirmiş dahi olsa Ahilik kurumu yüzyıllar boyunca toplumsal birliğin devamlılığı konusunda sorumluluk üstlenmiş, bu topraklarda iş etiğinin temellerini atmış ve toplumsal ihtiyaç alanlarında varlık göstermiş tarihsel bir gerçeklik olarak karşımızda durmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kurumsal sorumluluk farkındalığını derinleştirirken tarihsel kültürel mirasımızın bir parçası olan Ahilik Kurumunun bu çerçevede yeniden gözden geçirilmesinin gerekliliği tartışılmaktadır.

Business Ethics: A European Review

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The key concept in Business Ethics has changed from ‘corporate social responsibility’ to ‘integrated risk‐management’. This change, first wrought by American laws, has been extended to other countries through globalization. The most important laws concern corruption, anti‐trust, consumer safety, environmental protection and insider‐trading. The ‘Federal Corporate Sentencing Guidelines’ have particularly been helpful in identifying and valuing business risks. The author proposes a ‘next‐generation’ Business Ethics integrating personal, professional and organizational ethics in the context of an institutionalized, country‐sensitive ‘corporate culture’.

“…While we will advance a variety of themes from Walzer’s work that we see as important, we will emphasize three primary claims in this paper: (i) Particularism, or the use of “thick” description, is the starting point for moral reflection; (ii) understandings of justice are plural and begin with local understandings rather than universal norms; and (iii) approaching ethics in this way opens up important practical insights that can enhance our ability to “do” ethics and to create value. In light of these claims, we will show how Walzer’s work helps address three major challenges that have been endemic to the field of business ethics since its founding: (i) how to get ethics into the conversation about business without seem artificial or “oxymoronic,” (ii) how to understand managers both as individual moral agents within an organization and as change agents, and (iii) how to reshape the focus in business away from a strict focus on money and shareholders and toward stakeholders and the process of value creation in organizations (see Freeman and Elms 2018 ; Freeman et al 2020 ; McMahon 2002 ; Wicks 1995 ). We will also address some criticisms of Walzer—specifically his alleged relativism and admitted democratic socialism—before moving to concluding thoughts and future research directions.…”

Spheres of Influence: A Walzerian Approach to Business Ethics

et al. 2020

Michael Walzer is one of the most distinguished political philosophers and social critics of this century. His ideas have had great import and influence in political philosophy and political discussion, yet very few of his ideas have been incorporated explicitly into the business ethics literature. We argue that Walzer's work provides an important conceptual canvas for business ethics scholars that has not been adequately explored. Scholars in business ethics often borrow from political theory and philosophy to generate new insights and develop new substantive contributions. Many valuable theoretical resources are already used extensively-particularly Aristotle, Kant, Marx and a variety of utilitarian philosophers. Walzer offers another set of resources to bring to the conversation of what business ethics is and how business ethicists add value. This paper provides an opportunity to delve further into Walzer's writings, particularly themes that are tied to business ethics, and to illustrate how his ideas can be extended to reshape our understanding of the field and develop new perspectives on ethical issues in commerce.
