Inhalte: The course introduces to the Theory of Governance Ethics, its theoretical foundations and implications for business practice. Firstly, the Theory of Governance Ethics shows how the moral factor can be integrated into economic theory without pursuing an economization of morals or a moralization of economics. Firms in this context will be understood as organizations of society utilized to solve society’s fundamental economic problem, which is the scarcity of resources. They are seen as specific forms of cooperation for the coordination of economic transactions. Secondly, the course focuses on the emergence of globally accepted norms for good corporate governance wherein firms are not only standard takers but also standard setters. With reference to the current demand of society for the creation of shared value through business organizations the terms CSR, intersectoral governance and leadership excellence become relevant. This leads to the third part which deals with the resulting challenges and possible solutions regarding the management of the normative side of the firm. New management functions resulting from society’s demands for corporate social responsibility and integrity and compliance management and their integration in a comprehensive normative strategic management will be shown and practised through case studies.
Lernziele: Students get to know the basic ideas of the Theory of Governance Ethics and its implications for the management of corporations.
