Ethics in Strategic Management An Inquiry into Otherness of a Strategy Process
- Share to:
In this thesis I examine the relationship between ethics and the strategy process in an organization. More exactly, I focus on the ethical subjectivity constituted by how people in the strategy process see themselves as subjects in relation to their sense of responsibility for themselves and others. In bringing strategy and ethics together in this way we can talk of an ethos of an organization. What distinguishes this thesis from many empirical studies in organizational ethics is its refusal to assume even the possibility of cohesiveness in such an ethos. It takes strategy processes as an empirical starting point and analyses what is being observed as a dialectic between basic experiences of “sameness” and “otherness”. It doesn’t involve ideas of fair versus unfair behaviour or the explicit awareness and recognition of moral issues. What is does, is to find ethics as an individual’s ongoing experience of making choices about what to do in the institutional context in which this activity is situated. In so doing it brings into question the very idea of separating individuals and institutional contexts, for as found in the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur (1992), it finds ethics less a study of moral norms than the transcendental basis for identity constituted in experiencing what is other than, or beyond, oneself. Ethics is inherent in the identity of a human being, and cannot be a separate or objective part of human life
