RT Article T1 The Path of Moral Growth JF Journal of business ethics VO 38 IS 1 SP 43 OP 54 A1 Pava, Moses L. LA English YR 2002 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1785617656 AB This paper, following the work of the sociologist Philip Selznick, identifies three stages of moral development in organizations: ethical improvisation, ethical institutionalization, and ethical revival. I argue here that the developmental perspective is inherent in the structure of biblical narrative, especially in the stories of Genesis and Exodus. The paper concludes by debunking three common myths associated with business ethics.
