Abstract

The discipline of business ethics has been slow to include Big Tech as a worthwhile object of examination. My goal in this presidential address is to make the case that the discipline of business ethics is overlooking novel harms and marginalized stakeholders in emerging and impactful technology industries. Furthermore, although the discipline is improving, the persistent narrowness of our field inhibits our ability to identify and examine novel issues in these important industries. I use standpoint theory to suggest one reason why we remain narrow in what we think counts in business ethics as valid objects of concern: because we are similarly narrow in who counts as a business ethicist. As scholars, we are a lens that we train on the world to identify who counts as a scholar, what we study, and who matters.

商业道德中谁最重要
商业伦理学科在将大型科技公司纳入有价值的研究对象方面进展缓慢。我在这次总统演讲中的目标是说明,在新兴和有影响力的科技行业中,商业道德学科忽视了新的危害和边缘化的利益相关者。此外,尽管这门学科正在进步,但我们领域的持续狭窄抑制了我们在这些重要行业中识别和研究新问题的能力。我使用立场理论来提出一个原因,为什么我们仍然狭隘地认为在商业伦理中,什么是有效的关注对象:因为我们同样狭隘地认为谁是商业伦理学家。作为学者,我们是一个镜头,我们通过训练来观察世界,以确定谁是学者,我们研究什么,谁是重要的。

期刊介绍: Business Ethics Quarterly (BEQ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research relevant to the ethics of business. Since 1991 this multidisciplinary journal has published articles and reviews on a broad range of topics, including the internal ethics of business organizations, the role of business organizations in larger social, political and cultural frameworks, and the ethical quality of market-based societies and market-based relationships. It recognizes that contributions to the better understanding of business ethics can come from any quarter and therefore publishes scholarship rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
