The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations (Routledge Companions in Business, Management and Marketing)

__The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations__ synthesizes and extends existing research on ethics in organizations by explicitly focusing on ‘__ethico-politics__’ - where ethics informs political action. It draws connections between ethics and politics in and around organizations and the workplace, examines cutting-edge areas and sets the scene for future research. Through a wealth of international and multidisciplinary contributions this volume considers the broad range of ways in which ethics and politics can be conceived and understood. The chapters look at various ethical traditions, as well as the discursive deployment of ethical terminology in organizational settings, and they also examine large scale political structures and processes and how they relate to different forms of politics which affect behaviour in organizations. These many possibilities are united by a focus on how ethics can be used to inform and justify the exercise of power in organizations. This collection will be a valuable reference source for students and researchers across the disciplines of organizational studies, ethics and politics. The Routledge Companion to Ethics, Politics and Organizations provides a prestige reference work. The collection surveys and synthesizes existing work, reviews emerging and cutting edge areas, as well as develops new and innovative research agendas. This book is a valuable reference source for all students, researchers and academics in the area. Pt. 1. Ethics and corporate power -- pt. 2.
