“…Some were favorable and others, critical. The favorable ones (Stark 1993, Boatright 1995, Nesteruk 1995 agreed with Solomon in that virtue ethics, with its inherently social dimension, provided a better alternative to the dominant individualistic view of ethics. The critics (Ewin 1995, Beck-Dudley 1996, on the other hand, focused their objections on the obligation, in certain circumstances, to stand up against the values commonly held by the group.…”

“…In matching journals with major themes, it was found that studies on 'Virtues in relations between Solomon (1992); Koehn (1992); Newton (1992); Stark (1993); Hartman (1994); Solomon (1994); Werhane (1994); Boatright (1995); Collier (1995); Ewin (1995); Nesteruk (1995); Beck-Dudley (1996);Brewer (1997); Maitland (1997); Shaw (1997); Moore (1999); Schudt (2000); Moore (2002); Dawson & Bartholomew (2003); Melé (2003) (1995); Horvath (1995); Koehn (1995); Shaw (1995); Corvino (2006); Derry (1996); Mintz (1996); Shaw (1996); Wicks (1996); Dobson (1997); MacLellan & Dobson (1997); Maguire (1997); Wicks (1997); Solomon (1998) individuals and firms as moral agents' abounded in Business Ethics Quarterly, while those on 'Virtue ethics as a model for the study and teaching of business ethics' were most numerous in the Journal of Business Ethics. It was also interesting to note the absence of articles on 'Virtues, goods and principles; virtues and capabilities; virtues and spirituality' and 'Virtue ethics in marketing' in Business Ethics Quarterly.…”

Virtue ethics is generally recognized as one of the three major schools of ethics, but is often waylaid by utilitarianism and deontology in business and management literature. EBSCO and ABI databases were used to look for articles in the Journal of Citation Reports publications between 1980 and 2011 containing the keywords 'virtue ethics ', 'virtue theory', or 'virtuousness' in the abstract and 'business' or 'management' in the text. The search was refined to draw lists of the most prolific authors, the most cited authors, the most cited articles, and the journals with the most virtue ethics publications. This information allows one to chart how virtue ethics articles have evolved through the decades and to establish 'schools' or clusters of authors as well as clusters of themes. The results of this quantitative analysis of authors, 'schools', themes, and publications provide a foundation for the future study of virtue ethics in business and management, identifying its achievements and potentials.bs_bs_banner

“…The literature dealing with the relationship of law and ethics in business suggests two general players: 'optimist' and 'realist.' Legal optimists offer a conception of the law as a positive influence rather than a negative curb on business behavior and pursue a noble end in promoting higher ethical standards through the law (Nesteruk 1995, Orts 1992. Legal realists emphasize the negative limits in the law as a restraining mechanism and are skeptical about the impact of legal development on the moral standards of people in business (Hoch and Hamilton 1999).…”

“…For Solomon, the modern business corporation is a community with business as a natural human activity. From the legal perspective, Nesteruk (1995) adopts and challenges Solomon's notion of the corporation as a community with individuals occupying specialized roles. He accepts the insight, but thinks that it lacks a deeper appreciation of the dynamics of legal rules and community development.…”

Virtue ethics is generally recognized as one of the three major schools of ethics, but is often waylaid by utilitarianism and deontology in business and management literature. Focusing on publications in the Thomson-Reuters Journal of Citation Report between 1980 and 2011, we use EBSCO and ABI databases to look for articles containing the keywords "virtue ethics", "virtue theory" or "virtuousness" in the abstract together with "business" or "management" in the text. We refined our search to draw lists of the most prolific authors, the most cited authors, the most cited articles and the journals with the most virtue ethics publications. This information allows us to chart how virtue ethics articles have evolved through the decades and establish clusters of authors as well as clusters of themes. These findings also provide a foundation for future study of the meanings of virtue ethics and the achievement and potential of different persuasions within virtue ethics research. We believe this will make a significant contribution to business ethics scholarship and management education by supplying both with a solid philosophical and anthropological mooring.
