2. Deep Ecology, Business Ethics and Personal Responsibility : Selected Papers (1988 – 2020)

Author

Knut Johannessen Ims and Knut Johannessen Ims

Subjects
Sustainable development, Social responsibility of business, Business ethics
Abstract

How can businesses and business leaders help solve the big ethical, social and ecological challenges of today? Within this context this book offers theoretical and practical approaches to making the world a better place for existing and future generations. It uses diverse, often multidimensional frames of reference and illustrates them with real-life cases to show positive solutions. The author's broad professional background and humanistic worldview are reflected in his application of psychological and virtue-oriented theories as well as philosophical approaches. Some of the articles have an essay format, others share his experiences and experiments in his ethics classes using roleplays to cultivate empathic and prudent ethical behaviour. A primary motivation of the book is to inspire leaders as well as teachers and students of leadership and business by enriching their worldviews to see ethics as a fundamental aspect at all levels of economic activity.

Abstract

The two guiding principles in this chapter are: i) maximizing the awareness of clients’ values and minimizing the influence of consultants’ values, and ii) the issue of instrumentality, i.e assuring that we are doing what we wish to do. In order to obtain the first principle, implicit or explicit pitfalls of manipulating the “model-weak” person in the relationship will be emphasized. The “model-weak” part may be either the consultant or the client, but as a main rule I will see the client as the object of possible manipulation. The quality of relationship is the unit of analysis, and the research approaches the subject matter from an interdisciplinary point of view. The research should in particular be of interest to those interested in management, taking into consideration that the essence of management and leadership is to “manage” interpersonal relations.
