Abstract

The fourth stage of management morality is defined by the moral philosophy of law and order. Law carries connotations to rules, protocols, commandments, regulations, bureaucracy, procedures, formalities, decrees, administration, ruling, directives, instrumentalism, policies, and formal legal principles. Social as well as managerial order is reflective of edicts, commands, instructions, organisation, classifications, ‘Contractualism’, formalism, stability, and so on.308 Law and order are underpinned by moral philosophy.309 On law and order, German philosopher Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979) noted, ‘law and order are always and everywhere the law and order which protect the established hierarchy; it is nonsensical to invoke the absolute authority of this law and this order against those who suffer from it and struggle against it — not for personal advantage and revenge, but for their share of humanity’ (1969:130, cf. Peter & Hull 1969 & 2009).
