About this product

Product Information

"What is right in the corporation is not what is right in a man's home or in his church," a former vice-president of a large firm observes. "What is right in the corporation is what the guy above you wants from you." Such sentiments pervade American society, from corporate boardrooms to the basement of the White House. In Moral Mazes, Robert Jackall offers an eye-opening account of how corporate managers think the world works, and of how big organizations shape moral consciousnss. Based on extensive interviews with managers at every level of two industrial firms and of a large public relations agency, Moral Mazes takes the reader inside the intricate world of the corporation. It is a world where hard work does not necessarily lead to success, but where sharp talk, self-promotion, powerful patrons, and sheer luck might; where intense competition is masked by cheerfully bland public faces; where intentions are cloaked and frankness is simply one of many guises; and where words are always provisional and accountability often depends on the ability to outrun mistakes. In this topsy-turvy world, managers must bring often unforgiving technology and always difficult people together to make money, an uncompromising task demanding continual compromises with conventional verities. Moral issues are translated into practical concerns and into issues of public relations. Sooner or later, managrs ask themselves: How does one act in such a world and maintain a sense of personal integrity? Moral Mazes is a brilliant, sometimes disturbing, often wildly funny study of corporate thinking, decision-making, and morality. It is an analytical work of great importance, one filled with compelling real life stories of the men and women charged with running the business of America. It is a book for anyone interested in how big organizations actually function, or who is concerned with the current moral malaise in our public life.

Reviews
"Eine weiter führende Beschäftigung mit Stemmers Theorie der Normativität halte ich für eine spannende und äußerst ergiebige Angelegenheit. Auch glaube ich, daß Peters Stemmers Theorie sich für eine interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen Themen eignet, da sein Schema auf unterschiedlichste Situationen, in denen Akteure involviert sind, anwenden läßt."Jörg Krieg in: Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger 1/2010 "Stemmer's highly original account constitutes a genuine challenge not only to these deep-routed intuitions about normativity and morality but also to their most prominent philosophical elaborations."Robin Celikates in: Ethic Theory Moral Practice 2009 "Mit dem vorliegenden Buch hat Stemmer eine scharfsinnige Untersuchung vorgelegt, deren Lektüre selbst dann zu wertvollen Einsichten verhelfen kann, wenn man den Ausgangsthesen des Authors nicht zustimmt."Frank Brosow in.
