Description
Drawing on the work of Jürgen Habermass social theory for the critical study of management, organization and employment, this book proposes a new definition of legitimate corporate action; based on Habermass principles of communicative rationality and discourse ethics. Systematic in its application of the full range of Habermass arguments to management and economics, it uses insights from these disciplines to inform a critique and reconstruction of Habermass work. The result is a distinctive new conceptualization of the relationship between social interaction and economic structures and institutions. Concluding that corporate legitimacy - the successful combination of market economics with distributive and environmental justice - is only possible in the context of deliberative forms of democratic workplace governance, the findings of this work have serious implications for our understanding of corporate social responsibility and of the part managers and employees can play in putting it into practice.
