Abstract

Managers do not need moral (re-)education but the competencies to assume order responsibility: Companies serve a societal purpose in market economies through efficiency, innovation, and welfare diffusion. Their "license to operate" depends not only on legality but also on legitimacy. As the traditional division between politics as rule-setter and business as rule-follower erodes, managers must move beyond operational decision-making to actively engage in governance and public discourse. This requires new competencies: steering competence for institutional design and enlightenment competence for clarifying debates and building trust in the legitimacy of the market economy.
