description: In recent years a succession of corporate scandals has rocked the international business community. As a result many companies have invested considerable time money and effort on the development of ethics management programs. However in many cases such programs are nothing more than insurance policies against corporate liability designed merely to limit the fallout of scandals should they occur. In Business Ethics as Practice Mollie Painter-Morland urges us to take business ethics seriously by reconsidering the role of ethics management within organizations. She redefines the typical seven-step ethics management program from within  challenging the reader to reconsider what is possible within each aspect of this process. In doing so she draws on the insights of Aristotle Nietzsche Heidegger Foucault and numerous contemporary organizational theorists and sociologists to create the space for the emergence of a morally responsive corporate ethos.
