Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die Debatte um die Rolle von Unternehmensethik und Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ist in der BWL und in der Wirtschaftspraxis neu entbrannt. Die Frage, ob und in welcher Weise das Fach in Lehre und Forschung Unternehmensethik aufgreifen und integrieren sollte, wird erneut heftig diskutiert. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden einleitend verschiedene Hintergründe und Dimensionen dieses Themenkreises vorgestellt. Am Beispiel von vier aktuellen Positionen der Fachliteratur werden die unterschiedlichen Möglichkeiten erörtert, Unternehmensethik und CSR im Fach zu verankern. Vor diesem Hintergrund formuliert der Beitrag verschiedene Herausforderungen und offene Fragen an die BWL. Anschließend wird kurz in die in diesem Sonderheft veröffentlichten Beiträge eingeführt, die auf einem gemeinsamen Workshop der Wissenschaftlichen Kommissionen „Organisation“ und „Wissenschaftstheorie“ im Verband der Hochschullehrer für Betriebswirtschaft (VHB) intensiv diskutiert wurden und die den genannten Herausforderungen nachgehen.
