Abstract

Abstract This article builds on Howard R. Bowen’s seminal treatise “Social Responsibilities of the Businessman” to portray how Bowen’s 11 Economic Goals for responsible business practice are visionary and remarkably evocative of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Drawing on the articles included in this guest issue, we reflectively discuss recent developments of corporate social responsibility and business ethics research and identify several avenues for future research. We maintain that the institutionalization of sustainable, responsible, and ethical business practices in any organization is not only achievable but also morally imperative if the subsumed contract between business and society for the effective functioning of both is to be upheld.

全球社会的商业道德:霍华德·鲍恩的遗产和联合国可持续发展目标的基础
本文以霍华德·r·鲍恩(Howard R. Bowen)的开创性著作《商人的社会责任》(Social responsibility of the entrepreneur)为基础,描述了鲍恩关于负责任商业实践的11个经济目标是如何具有远见卓识的,并与联合国的17个可持续发展目标(Sustainable Development Goals, sdg)惊人地相似。借助本期特刊中包含的文章,我们对企业社会责任和商业道德研究的最新发展进行了反思,并确定了未来研究的几个途径。我们认为,在任何组织中,可持续的、负责任的和合乎道德的商业实践的制度化不仅是可以实现的,而且在道德上也是必要的,前提是要维护企业和社会之间有效运作的包容性契约。
