Abstract

The role of the ethical norm, specifically as it applies to management, is reviewed. It presents direction for moral analysis and also for organizing empirical observations of practice. This is the purpose of the nexus-of-imperfect-duty model of the firm as presented in this monograph. It provides clarity concerning our aspirational notions of moral managerial behavior. As such, it also gives the basis for examining and judging management as an institution.
