Business Ethics: An Economically Informed Perspective

by Christoph Lütge and Matthias Uhl

In an increasingly globalized world, business ethics continues to gain importance as a field of study. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts of business ethics related to the economy as a whole, as well as more closely understood corporate ethics related to the individual company. In contrast to more casuistic works on the topic, special emphasis is placed on a coherent theoretical foundation that puts economic analysis tools at the centre of the consideration. Both classical and experimental economic approaches and results are called upon. The importance of often-neglected dilemma structures and the resulting implications for an ethics of the modern age are given wide scope, while special attention is also paid to the value of empirical research for business ethics. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to corporate ethics and explores issues that encompass corporate responsibility in the context of compliance, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and creating shared value. This is intended to provide students and academics with an aid in the theoretical classification of the variety of concepts that often coexist incoherently in contemporary debate.
As the topic has evolved, it has extended far beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries. This book is intended for students in the social sciences, particularly economics, business, and psychology, as well as the computer sciences, engineering, and the natural sciences.

Newly published with Springer: our joint „Introduction to Ethics in Robotics and AI“. And I am happy to say that we made it Open Access! Please download and share freely!

"The book is meant to provide balanced and, at times, conflicting viewpoints as to the benefits and deficits of AI through the lens of ethics. As discussed in the chapters that follow, ethical questions are often not cut and dry. Nations, communities, and individuals may have unique and important perspectives on these topics that should be heard and considered. While the voices that compose this book are our own, we have attempted to represent the views of the broader AI, robotics, and ethics communities."

Thanks for the great collaboration, Christoph Bartneck, Alan Wagner, Sean Welsh!

Wie sollen Manager mit Autokraten und zweifelhaften Demokraten umgehen? Interview mit Prof. Lütge in der Neuen Zürcher Zeitung.

Firmenchefs stehen oft vor kniffligen Entscheiden. Jüngst im Fokus: eine Investorenkonferenz in Saudiarabien, kurz nachdem der Journalist Khashoggi ermordet worden ist. Manager sollten in solchen Situationen durchaus ein Signal setzen, sagt der Wirtschaftsethiker Christoph Lütge.
