Abstract

Zusammenfassung In nachfolgendem Beitrag wird die aktuelle Debatte zur Notwendigkeit einer Unternehmensethik aufgegriffen und kommentiert. Darüber hinaus werden die Implikationen für die betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Lehre diskutiert. Im Zentrum steht die These, dass sich Fragen der Unternehmensethik nicht sinnvoll ohne Bezugnahme auf die Wirtschaftsordnung und die sie legitimierende Theorie erörtern lassen. Im Kern läuft diese Position darauf hinaus, dass Unternehmensethik dort einsetzt, wo Marktversagen zu konstatieren ist. Der Beitrag greift auch die aktuelle Debatte zur Social Corporate Responsibility (CSR) und die dort vertretene Auffassung auf, wonach sich ethisches oder an moralischen Standards orientiertes Handeln bezahlt mache. In dem Beitrag wird gezeigt, dass diese Instrumentalisierung moralischen Handelns der Idee der Unternehmensethik eher abträglich als förderlich ist, weil sie zwangsläufig zu einer Verwechslung der Kategorien führt.
