Toward CSR3: Why Ethical Analysis is Indispensable and Unavoidable in Corporate Affairs

Frederick, William C.·1986·California Management Review

Abstract

Corporate managers and business-and-society scholars cannot escape normative implications of their decisions or their research. Value free decisions or research that is neutral are a myth. Practitioners and academics need to measure worth of their decisions and research studies in terms of basic moral conceptions embedded in the culture of ethics. Doing so enhances legitimacy of corporations and clarines nature of business-and-society research.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
