Philosophy and Business Ethics
This book explores the relationship between philosophy and business ethics. Academics and practitioners often muse about the ethical and moral aspect of management and business actions, but these studies can lack a deeper philosophical grounding. Contributors to this volume challenge this gap by applying different philosophical paradigms and theories to business management issues. The territory covered by the contributions collected in this book spans from the foundations of business management literature itself, to the role of philosophy in new business models and technology; from the way philosophical theory can explain – and encourage – ethical firm behaviour, to the political stance that an organization takes. Contributors take a holistic approach to business and management, bringing together real-world examples and rich academic theory, creating an interdisciplinary volume, with international authors. Covering important topics such as corporate social responsibility, sustainability, leadership, and stakeholder relations, this book will be of interest to academics working in the field of business ethics, philosophy and management studies.
A Catholic Spirituality for Business
Spirituality and gift are notions that are en vogue. Topics such as spirituality at the workplace, spirituality management, spirituality in leadership, organizational spirituality and other related topics are trending in management literature. The “logic of gift” is also appearing more frequently, especially in attempts to rethink the way our economy works in order to include the marginalized. “br>The expression “logic of gift” was introduced into official Catholic social teaching by Pope Benedict XVI, who presented it in association with the principle of gratuitousness, which in turn is an expression of fraternity. However, before Caritas in Veritate and ever since Marcel Mauss’...
Organizational Social Irresponsibility
In the book Organizational Social Irresponsibility: tools and theoretical insights we focus both on theoretical and practical aspects of organizational social irresponsibility and hope to provide a contribution to the contemporary state of knowledge about its causes and results. The book is divided into three parts: first titled “Organizational Social Irresponsibility: Practices and experiences”, second: “The thousand faces of dark side of business” and third: “Social, cultural and institutional dimensions”. The book is written by a range of authors from all over the world. They provide us with examples of some irregularity in social organizational activity. There were included some theoretical and practical contributions into the topic of organizational social irresponsibility, from different sectors (e.g. pharmaceutical or manufacturing industry as well as public administration) and various organizational processes (such as marketing, training, innovation and knowledge management). We hope it will be a worthy inspiration for struggling with dark sides of organizational existence.

Diversity Management and Identity in Organisations
This book advances a conceptualisation of gender identity within Diversity Management in organisations that takes into account the linkages between individual and organisational identity, thus moving from liminality, where gender is considered merely as a binary and diversity as something to manage, to inclusion, where diversity means a commitment to supporting a processual way to approach both belongingness and uniqueness within organisation. Through the use of Critical Discourse Analysis, the book investigates a series of UK county-based public and private bodies, combining the analysis of interviews with a set of policy documents. In this way, this contribution explores what challenges Diversity Management in organisations has to cope with, and to what extent the relationship between individual and organisational identity can help us prevent any form of discrimination and foster inclusiveness in organisations.
