Investigating the Philosophical Foundations ofManagement and Business

In the actual scientific debate among management and organizational scholars, the interest in business ethics and social issues for management is widespread, but there is still a lack in the normative aspect and the philosophical foundations of management. Academics and practitioners have often discussed the moral aspect of management and business actions, but they often miss a deeper philosophical reflection. This book is aimed at investigating the philosophical foundations of management and business, both in theory and in practice. It consists of twenty-two chapters that use different philosophical paradigms and theories to better explaining, and hopefully impacting, business management issues.
