This volume examines the breadth and depth of virtue ethics and
aims to counter the virtue ethics amnesia that both afflicts
general moral philosophy and affects business and management
ethics. Divided into two parts, the handbook starts out with a
historical introduction and chronology of the development of virtue
ethics, providing a comprehensive assessment of its evolution and
identifying the most influential authors and their works. The
authors discussed include those who follow a philosophical or
conceptual tradition in their treatment of virtue and those who
belong to the research tradition of positive science, in
particular, empirical, quantitative and applied psychology. The
second part of the book discusses systematic approaches and major
themes developed in virtue ethics. These contributions are
conceptual, empirical/applied or case studies. They offer insight
into the different topics to which virtue ethics has been applied,
and show how virtue ethics has influenced the various operational
areas of firms. Finally, they examine the virtue ethics responses
to some of the most important issues that businesses and
organizations face in the 21st century.
