Moral Disagreements in Business

This book disassembles the moral assessment of business practices into its constituent parts. That identifies and clarifies the four key concepts that form the basis of important moral disagreements in business; ‘personhood,’ ‘ownership,’ ‘harm,’ and ‘consent‘.  ‚Moral bottom lines’ are those fundamental concepts in business ethics that ultimately account for our most resilient moral claims and unsurpassable convictions. Exploring them provides essential insights into the grounds on which we disagree in business ethics. This analysis is useful for students in business school looking to understand fundamental moral disagreements in business and for practitioners interested in connecting practice with their own moral intuitions. The book also challenges scholars of business ethics; by arguing that we can reduce business ethics disagreements to these four issues.
