A World Ethos for Global Business


This year's edition represents the fifth Annual Humanistic Management Conference hosted by the Global Ethic Institute at the University of Tübingen, Germany. The Conference is organized by the Humanistic Management Network of which we are a proud member. The 2017 conference title is "A World Ethos for Global Business? Cosmopolitan Responsibilities of Management.”

We have a world economy but no world government; nor can we expect, at least in the foreseeable future, a system of decentralized global governance with sufficient sanctioning powers to enforce legal mandates for business worldwide. For this reason alone, the ethical dimension of business cannot be entrusted solely to the law. Globalized markets would seem to require an underlying 'ethos', present to some degree the world over: a common spirit of legitimate, just, and fair business practice substantiated by shared experience. As managers and economic decision-makers, however, are increasingly operating within multi-cultural settings with divergent social customs and conventions, no 'one size fits all' approach will do.

At the fifth annual Humanistic Management Conference, to be held at the University of Tübingen's Weltethos-Institut, this dual need will be addressed by investigating from various cultural perspectives: 1) how a world ethos for global business could be variously articulated and promoted ('theory'); 2) the extent to which such an ethos is already present in contemporary globalized business ('practice'); and 3) what civil society around the world can do to support the efforts of (esp. multinational) corporations in this direction ('policy').
