Abstract

Die Wirtschaftskrisen der letzten Jahre haben das Leitbild Ehrbarer Kaufleute wieder in Erinnerung gerufen. Insbesondere Wirtschaftsorganisationen versuchen das Bewusstsein fuer ehrbares Wirtschaften wiederzubeleben. Fuer das Verstaendnis des Leitbilds Ehrbarer Kaufleute und fuer die Beurteilung der uebertragbarkeit auf modernes Unternehmertum ist die Beschaeftigung mit der historischen Entwicklung des Leitbilds von zentraler Bedeutung. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeichnet das jahrtausendalte Leitbild Ehrbarer Kaufleute nach, um es anschliessend in ein zeitgemaesses Verantwortungsmodell zu ueberfuehren. (The economic crises of recent years have called the Principal of the Honorable Merchant back into memory. In particular, business organizations are trying to raise awareness of honorable businesses. For an understanding of the Principle of the Honorable Merchant and for assessing the applicability to modern entrepreneurship employment with the historical development of the Principal are of core importance. This paper traces the millenary Principal of the Honorable Merchant, in order to subsequently transfer it into a contemporary model of responsibility.)
