This is a research paper for Management Ethics course. The word limit for this paper is 2500 words.
The question is the essay is "Many corporations refer to themselves as ‘good corporate citizens’ and CEOs such as Howard Schultz from Starbucks, advocate ‘doing business through the lens of humanity’. Australian social researcher Hugh Mackay recently published a book entitled The Good Life. In that book he asks the question, ‘what makes a life worth living?’ and gives the answer, ‘a life lived for others’. Mackay argues that a life lived for others is one lived in accordance with reason in which we fulfil our sense of purpose and civic duty, fully engaged with the world and respectful, compassionate and attentive to others. Mackay’s understanding of a good life is drawn from the foundations of ethical theory. What can the ethical theories of utilitarianism, Kantian deontology, Rawlsian justice and rights teach us about ethical leadership and corporate responsibility? Illustrate your discussion with current (i.e. within the last 6 months) business/management examples."
