Business Ethics and Continental Philosophy
Business ethics has largely been written from the perspective of analytical philosophy with very little attention paid to the work of continental philosophers. Yet although very few of these philosophers directly discuss business ethics, it is clear that their ideas have interesting applications in this field. This innovative textbook shows how the work of continental philosophers - Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault, Levinas, Bauman, Derrida, Levinas, Nietzsche, Zizek, Jonas, Sartre, Heidegger, Latour, Nancy and Sloterdijk - can provide fresh insights into a number of different issues in business ethics. Topics covered include agency, stakeholder theory, organizational culture, organizational justice, moral decision-making, leadership, whistle-blowing, corporate social responsibility, globalization and sustainability. The book includes a number of features designed to aid comprehension, including a detailed glossary of key terms, text boxes explaining key concepts, and a wide range of examples from the world of business.
Bureaucratie : encre, paperasse et tentacules
Tout le monde peste contre la bureaucratie, c'est un fait - on n'en a jamais terminé avec la paperasse... Pourquoi nous faut-il encore et toujours noircir des formulaires obscurs ? Comment en sommes-nous arrivés là ? " Où l'encre est, le pouvoir est. Où la puissance est, l'encre est ", nous dit René ten Bos. Car écrire, c'est survivre. Au temps et à l'ennemi. Les écrits restent, c'est bien connu, et ce même à l'heure du tout numérique. En Chine, il y a cinq mille ans, on savait déjà qu'un empire ne se défend pas uniquement par le sabre. La diffusion de l'encre s'est révélée un moyen de domination bien plus efficace. Egyptiens, Perses et Romains le comprendront aussi... comme nos sociétés modernes, où les bureaucrates ne cessent de se dresser face à nous, avec leurs comptes-rendus, leurs rapports, leurs circulaires... D'autant qu'en chacun de nous aussi, il en sommeille sans doute... Mais est-ce uniquement une fatalité ? Ne pouvons-nous pas nous réapproprier la bureaucratie pour la mettre au service du bien commun ?
Fashion and Utopia in Management Thinking
"Building upon some rather unusual sources in postmodern theory, the author argues that management fashion might encourage the practitioner to engage in philosophical self-examination and to adopt alternative forms of understanding. However, it is also argued that management fashion often fails to keep up to this promise because it remains paradoxically incapable of laying off its rationalist cloak."--BOOK JACKET.
Fashion and Utopia in Management Thinking
Why is it that people in organizations seem to be so vulnerable to management fashion and guruism? And why is it that both phenomena are loathed in traditional academic thinking about management and organization? In this book, René ten Bos argues for a more philosophical rather than scientific understanding of management fashion. In doing so he questions the positivist and utopian orthodoxies that have pervaded management thinking. Ten Bos contends that management fashion is a cultural phenomenon that deserves serious reflection not only because it is so immensely widespread but also because its seems to satisfy particular philosophical needs among its consumers. Building upon some rather u...

Management Ethics
