| Итог: | Theorists have long argued that a process of individualisation is inherent in conditions of late modernity. Whilst individualisation has been acknowledged in the business ethics literature, studies have often overlooked the processes by which individuals are given greater responsibility for ethical decision making and the personal and institutional effects of this responsibility.

The article argues that an individualised ethics is incapable of preventing malpractice in the face of institutional conflicts of interest. |
