    "In this article, it is argued that the (necessary) use of ethics theories in management studies, calls for an explication and critical reflection over the values that are implied by them. Apart from the values of the ethical theories themselves, the researcher inevitably introduces additional values that we characterise as “values on the construction level of theory”. This is demonstrated with the example of economic ethics." (author's abstract

    In diesem Beitrag zeigen wir, dass theoretische und technologische Aussagensysteme zwei eigenständige Forschungszweige darstellen und damit die Notwendigkeit erwächst, eine eigene Methodologie technologischer Aussagensysteme zu entwerfen. Wir stellen erste Ansatzpunkte vor, wie eine solche Methodologie technologischer Aussagensysteme aussehen kann. Dabei gehen wir auch der Frage nach der Wissenschaftlichkeit technologischer Forschung nach

    Why do corporate actors engage in pro-social behavior? A Bourdieusian perspective on corporate social responsibility

    Get PDF
    Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social practice this paper develops a novel approach to the study of CSR. According to this approach, pro-social activities are conceptualized as social practices that are employed by individual managers in their personal struggles for social power. Whether such practices are enacted or not depends on the (1) particular features of the social field in which the managers are embedded, (2) the individual managers’ socially shaped dispositions and (3) their respective stock of different forms of capital. By combing these three concepts the Bourdieusian approach provides a particularly fruitful theoretical lens on CSR phenomena, not least as this allows reconciling seemingly competing conceptualizations in the existing CSR literature such as economic vs. non-economic motivation as drivers of CSR activity, micro- vs. macro-level explanations and voluntaristic vs. deterministic views of managers’ behaviors

    Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of social practice, this article develops a novel approach to the study of corporate social responsibility (CSR). According to this approach, pro-social activities are conceptualized as social practices that individual managers employ in their efforts to attain social power. Whether such practices are enacted or not depends on (1) the particular features of the social field; (2) the individual managers' socially shaped dispositions and (3) their stock of different forms of capital. By combining these theoretical concepts, the Bourdieusian approach we develop highlights the interplay between the economic and non-economic motivations that underlie CSR, acknowledging influences both on the micro- and the macro-level, as well as deterministic and voluntaristic aspects of human behaviour
