| Summary: | Recent theologically grounded contributions to business ethics, though innovative and promising, are flawed by an unrealistic conception of human agency in corporate settings. By drawing upon the resources of organization theory, we can construct a more reliable descriptive anthropology as a foundation for prescriptive judgments. By bringing this reconstructed knowledge into connection with the normative moral arguments of H. Richard Niebuhr, we can develop a corporate ethics of trust building that both takes organizational realities seriously and also guides their transformation. |
