“…Even in Kant, whose name is perhaps most frequently evoked to support notions of subordinating oneself to duty, the categorically non ‐universalisable idea of a duty to give up moral autonomy or moral ‘dignity’ so as to follow codes or commandments laid down by others finds scant support (see Jones et al . ). Significantly, however, an ethics of subordination to hierarchical authority is a formulation that accords strongly with monotheistic notions of the sanctity of celestial and earthly hierarchy.…”

“…Authors such as Banerjee (), Jones et al . (), Neimark () and Parker () have argued that what has come to be constituted as the ‘official discourse’ (Neimark ) or mainstream of business ethics, particularly that embodied in the US academy, inhibits a thoroughgoing critical examination of the ethics of business. ‘Mainstream’ business ethics has been charged with broadly accepting the political constitution of managerial–capitalist organisation, resulting in it largely failing to question numerous deeply problematic practices and ideologies, including the managerial prerogative, the hierarchical ordering of society and business organisation, the monopolisation of formal political power by the managerial elite and the casual, gross inequalities of material reward reproduced within hierarchical business structures.…”

Leadership and the deified/demonic: a cultural examination of CEO sanctification

I examine in this paper deification and demonisation – the social attribution of absolute ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’ to individuals or individual entities. Specifically, I unpack ways that evilness and goodness have become personified in the figure of the chief executive officer in contemporary, particularly US, business culture. Showing both the readily accessible and widely used nature of these religious tropes, I nevertheless argue that both deification and demonisation have ethically and politically disempowering effects for organisational members, the wider citizenry, and for critique within the field of business ethics.

“…Fundamentalmente, el neoliberalismo se resume en libre comercio, reducción del gasto público, reforma del Estado para disminuir su intervención y facilitar la penetración del sector privado como prestador privilegiado de servicios, aún incluso en el sector público (JONES; PARKER; TEN BOS, 2005). Tal como expresan Hall y Gunter (2015), se trata de "tornar las actividades gubernamentales más empresariales, por medio del trasplante de técnicas de gestión y de la cultura y los valores empresariales del sector privado" (p. 747).…”

Resumen: Como vía de acción para superar la crisis del Estado de Bienestar y apoyada en una visión neoliberal de la administración estatal, la Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP) se instaló con mayor o menor intensidad en numerosos países de diversos continentes. En Latinoamérica, este esquema de relaciones de política pública tuvo su máxima expresión en los paquetes de reformas implementados durante la década de 1990. El sustrato de la NGP se centra en la reorganización de la administración pública en clave de mercado, gestión y competencia, a los fines de crear una administración eficiente y eficaz con el menor costo posible. En la presente comunicación se pretende analizar los fundamentos de la NGP, también consignada como New Public Management (NPM), a la luz de los modelos teóricos y epistemológicos para la investigación en políticas públicas. Se pretende exponer algunas consideraciones acerca de los sustentos teóricos y epistemológicos de la NGP e identificar, de este modo, algunas de las razones de su intensa implantación como nuevo esquema de organización y relaciones en la administración pública en las últimas décadas. Se aborda especialmente la penetración de la NGP en el sector educativo, con particular énfasis de estos procesos en la dirección escolar. El texto se construye en base a un abordaje teórico respaldado en revisión bibliográfica e indagación de fuentes secundarias. Palabras clave: Nueva Gestión Pública. Modelos teóricos. Abordajes epistemológicos. Políticas públicas. Aproximações à análise epistemológica da Nova Gestão PúblicaResumo: Como um curso de ação para superar a crise do Estado de bem-estar e apoiada por uma visão neoliberal da administração do Estado, a Nova Gestão Pública (NGP) o New Public Management (NPM) foi instalado com maior ou menor intensidade, em muitos países em diferentes continentes. Na América Latina, este esquema das relações políticas públicas teve sua máxima expressão em pacotes de reformas implementadas durante os anos 90. O substrato do NGP é focada sobre a reorganização da administração pública na chave de gestão do mercado e da concorrência, a fim de criar uma administração eficiente e eficaz com o menor custo possível. Na presente comunicação é analisada os fundamentos da NGP à luz da modelos teóricos e epistemológicos para pesquisa em políticas públicas. Destina-se a apresentar algumas considerações sobre as bases teóricas e epistemológicas da NGP e, assim, identificar algumas das razões para a sua implementação como novo esquema de organização e relações da administração pública nas últimas décadas. Penetração da NGP no sector da educação é particularmente dirigida, com especial ênfase desses processos na gestão escolar.

“…The main problem seems to lie in the fact that Business Ethics as a theoretical discipline cannot problematize its own assumptions and therefore know its own limits (Jones 2003a, 2003b). Jones et al . (2005) argue that, in an attempt to come up with helpful suggestions regarding engendering ethical business decisions and practices, Business Ethicists make selective use of philosophy and not only distort philosophical positions but also fail to ask the right questions of business.…”

This paper argues that corporate Codes of Ethics lose their ability to further moral responsiveness because of the narrow instrumental purposes that inform their adoption and use. It draws on Jacques Derrida's reading of Emmanuel Levinas to argue that, despite the fact that all philosophical language entails a certain violence, corporate Codes of Ethics could potentially play a more meaningful role in furthering ethical questioning within corporations. The paper argues that Derrida's reading of Levinas' notion of ‘the third’ could precipitate the emergence of a broader sense of ethical responsibility towards multiple others within corporations. Codes may also present the opportunity for corporations to engage in the reconsideration of their own purposes in the light of questions of justice towards multiple others. How these changes in the establishment and use of Codes may be accomplished is explored towards the end of the paper.
