Pinto-Garay, Javier
;
Scalzo, Germán
This book offers a systematic overview of major business ethics topics grounded in neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics and New Natural Law. Its broad approach spans philosophical themes to the most applied topics to promote business relations that respond to justice and responsibility. It presents business ethics as a theory of justice and the common good, offering a structured framework that integrates organizational, commercial, and corporate practices, consistently linked to the pursuit of excellence and human flourishing. This book is useful for philosophy professors who teach business and professional ethics courses, as well as graduate and undergraduate students in these courses. It is relevant to researchers interested in the ethical dimensions of business and management practice, especially those that touch on other management areas like strategy, marketing, or human resource management. ©The authors ©Springer.

Virtue Ethics: A Contribution to Family Firms
(2020)
Scalzo, Germán
;
Ramírez Pérez, Héctor Xavier
This chapter is an exploratory study of business ethics as it relates to family firms; it primarily aims to explore virtue ethics as an alternative proposal for the ethical concerns that family firms face in their management, thus overcoming the limitations of relevant business ethics approaches and integrating them into an overarching paradigm. Ethics can be classified into three main streams: (1) deontology, (2) utilitarianism, and (3) virtue ethics. The former two approaches have been widely used in the realm of business and family firms for many years and they tend to instrumentalize ethics for business purposes. Yet, they are mostly powerless to explain and promote the ethical concerns surrounding the family firm’s culture. Virtue ethics regained philosophical interest in the second half of the twentieth century, shifting the focus of morality from “the right thing to do” to the “best way to live.” By bringing together two consolidated research fields, family firms and virtue ethics, this chapter contributes a rich perspective to current research in both fields and opens up new ways of answering many of the cultural questions that family firms bring to the table. © 2020 Emerald Publishing Limited.

Pricing for a Common Good: beyond Ethical Minimalism in Commercial Practices
(2021)
Pinto-Garay, Javier
;
Ferrero, Ignacio
;
Scalzo, Germán
Pricing policies and fair-trade practices are critical for sustaining commercial relationships between firms and customers. Nevertheless, in current business practices, fairness has been mistakenly reduced to a minimalistic ethic wherein justice only demands legal and explicit norms to which commercial parties voluntarily agree. Aimed at giving a different explanation of commercial agreements, this paper will introduce a Virtue Ethics (VE) explanation of the relationship between pricing and the common good by taking up classical concepts related to justice in commerce. In particular, we will explore three principles associated with the notion of fairness in commerce as defined in Neo-Aristotelian ethics towards a relationship between a common good and justice in pricing, i.e., proportionality, benevolence and well-being. To exemplify how these criteria of justice apply to decision-making in commercial practices, we will discuss several cases of fair and unfair commercial relationships. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG part of Springer Nature.
