    INTEGRATING ETHICS WITH STRATEGY
    Selected Papers of Alan E Singer

    by Alan E Singer (University of Canterbury, New Zealand)

    Table of Contents (23k)
    Chapter 1: FRAMEWORKS: An Organising Framework for Ethics and Strategy (102k)

    This volume brings together 18 innovative articles on business strategy and ethics. Originally appearing in reputed journals, the articles are interrelated and focus on complex linkages between ethics and strategy in business.

    The first of its three sections discusses various frameworks developed by the author that explicitly integrate strategy with ethics. The second section comprises articles placing business ethics relative to management-science models and systems thinking. The final section applies some of the foregoing ideas to strategic and social issues, including poverty alleviation, corruption reduction, political divestment decisions, intellectual property rights, and pharmaceutical industrial strategy.

    “Once in a while an enterprising and brilliant thinker takes the time to put together a representative selection. Alan Singer has put together one of the most outstanding collections of articles about strategy and ethics I have seen in my long career as an academic.”

    “Within the pages of this book a profound idea emerges: Modern corporations, seeking their own self-interest while operating within “market economies”, must undertake GOOD WORKS as a first priority. This concept is contrary to traditional economic dictum. It alters the domain within which the theory and practice of business strategy has been developed. For this reason alone, it is a must read!”
    Robert Doktor

    “It is becoming increasingly clear that good strategy is ethical strategy and good business is ethical business. Like with ecology and sustainability, ethical business behavior is being recognized as a good long-term investment. Alan Singer provides excellent conceptual foundations for these emerging tendencies. Efficiency, effectiveness, explication and ethics are the four basic “e”s characterizing good business of the global era and permeating Alan Singer's excellent exposition, integrating ethics with strategy.”
