“…In European context, Bauman (1993) and Bevan and Corvellec (2007) argued for the impossibility of translating ethics into the organizational level. In this paper, we do not enter in this general debate (Ims and Pedersen, 2015). Our goal is to analyze the systemic causes of the failure of BE as it was practiced in the past 30 years.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the systemic causes of the failure of business ethics (BE) and suggest some possible remedies. The discipline and the movement of BE has at least three decades of history. BE has developed concepts and theories, and provided empirical evidences. However, BE as a movement and as a practice has failed to deliver the expected results. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses results from management ethics, moral psychology and corporate governance to analyze the underlying causes of corporate unethical behavior. Findings – The failure of BE is deeply rooted in today’s corporation-ruled business world. BE has failed to realize systemic features of modern business and therefore missed its target. The social, ethical and environmental problems caused by corporations may require a different kind of treatment based on law, politics and social institutions. Originality/value – The paper uses models outside ethics to help business organizations to become more ethical in their functioning.

“…Az ökológiai válság változásának üteme miatt nem elégségesek a kisléptékű módosítások. Elengedhetetlen a gazdaság ökológiai átalakítása, új progresszív üzleti modellek kifejlesztése és alkalmazása, amelyek meghonosítják az üzleti világban az etikai nézőpontok figyelembe vételét, az ökológiai értékek tiszteletét, a holisztikus és transzdiszciplináris megközelítéseket, és az alternatív gondolkodási és viselkedési módokat (Ims -Zsolnai, 2009;Rockström, 2010;Ims et al, 2014;Ims -Pedersen, 2015;Storsletten -Jakobsen, 2015;Zsolnai, 2015a;Capra -Jakobsen, 2017;Jakobsen, 2017;Harangozó et al, 2018;Steffen -Rockström et al, 2018).…”
