“…It is the contention of this paper that a philosophical foundation to this area is deserving of fuller attention than it has so far received, and given the prominence that the work of the moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre has established within the business ethics field (Ferrero & Sison ), it would seem to be worthwhile exploring where his approach to virtue ethics, as applied to business organizations, might lead us.…”

This paper extends previous discussions of corporate character and corporate virtues. By drawing particularly on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, it offers a perspective on context‐dependent categories of the virtues. It then provides a philosophically grounded framework which enables a discussion of which virtues are required for business organizations to qualify as virtuous. It offers a preliminary taxonomy of such corporate virtues and provides a revised definition of corporate character.

“…That shift is part of a wider shift taking place in business, see Ferrero and Sison (2014), and reflects that society as a whole, not just in Australia, but around the world is more concerned nowadays with issues around public trust, reliability of consumer products and service quality. However, that shift has to date not been reflected in the education of students preparing to enter the workforce, but this may be changing as discussed by May, Luth and Schwoerer (2014).…”

Do information and communications technology (ICT) professionals who have ICT qualifications believe that the ethics education they received as part of their ICT degrees helped them recognise ethical problems in the workplace and address them? If they do, are they also influenced by their personal ethics? What else helps them recognise ethical problems in the workplace and address them? And what are their views in relation to the impact of ethics education on professionalism in the ICT workplace? A quantitative survey of 2,315 Australian ICT professionals revealed that participants who reported having various levels of qualifications found ethics education or training, to a small degree, helpful for recognising ethical problems and addressing them; although it is those with Non-ICT qualifications, not those with ICT degrees, who were influenced more by ethics education or training. This suggests that educators need to consider how to better prepare ICT graduates for the workplace challenges and the types of situations they subsequently experience. The survey also found that participants who reported having various levels of qualifications were not influenced by their personal ethics or indeed any other factor making ethics education or training important for developing professionalism. The quantitative survey was followed by qualitative interviews with 43 Australian ICT professionals in six Australian capital cities. These interviews provided further empirical evidence that ethics education is crucial for enabling ICT professionals to recognise ethical problems and resolve them and that educators need to consider how to better prepare ICT graduates for the types of moral dilemmas that they are likely going to face in the workforce.

“…In the last decades, virtue ethics has received an increasing scholarly attention (Ferrero & Sison, 2014;Kaptein, 2011). Virtues such as community and integrity (Solomon, 1999), reliability and respect (Shanahan & Hyman, 2003), consistency and achievability (Kaptein, 2011) have been proposed as desirable characteristics to be pursued at the organizational level, to project organizations as communities where virtues are practiced (Solomon, 1992) and forme the intrinsic motivation that generates successful business behaviour.…”

The work addresses attention to the leadership attributes that allow managers and entrepreneurs to develop authentic CSR-oriented strategies and foster sustainability. After tracing the theoretical framework, the work presents the empirical analysis based on a qualitative approach and a case-study method relative to an Italian company − Geico Spa whose traits of excellence are relative to both the business and the leadership model.Findings point out that the leadership style leads to a business model that allows people inside and outside the company to flourish and the company to grow across all dimensions (economic, financial, competitive, social, environmental and ethical). Moreover, the analysis reveals that what authentically drives CSR strategies and animates the organization to achieve a sustainable development is a leadership style that lies on a passion for the good of the company pursued in harmony with that of all its internal and external interlocutors and its surrounding environment. The work has both scientific and managerial implications. On the one hand, it contributes to shed light on the relationship between intrinsic motivation, charismatic, servant and transforming leadership and authentic CSR. On the other hand, the study points out specific virtues that enable virtuous competencies for enhancing CSR and sustainability that can be developed through educational and professional practices, thus opening new trajectories for a fruitful convergence of theory and practice.
