Law and Strategy and Ethics?

Abstract

This article addresses the vital role that business ethics plays together with law and strategy. It places “values-attentive ethics” at the forefront of the developing law and strategy literature, arguing that the values-attentive ethics approach to organizational ethics is preferable to any alternative, particularly to command-and-control oriented approaches. The article further claims that the purview of values-attentive ethics is so closely allied with law as a resource in strategic management, that the combination of law and values-attentive ethics must be recognized together as perhaps the most vital resource in the law and strategy framework.

Keywords: legal ethics, ethics, behavioral ethics, law and ethics, law and strategy, law and strategy and ethics
