Book Review: Business Ethics as a Science by Maxim Storchevoy
Title: Business Ethics as a Science: A Thought-Provoking Journey
Book reviews provide invaluable insights into the world of literature, shaping readers’ opinions and influencing their choices. Today, I have the pleasure of introducing you to “Business Ethics as a Science” by Maxim Storchevoy, a captivating exploration into the complex world of ethics in today’s business environment. Published by Springer International Publishing in 2017, this thought-provoking book takes readers on an engaging journey through the intricate intersections of morality and commerce.
From the very first page, Storchevoy exhibits a masterful command over his subject matter, making it clear that he possesses not only extensive knowledge but also a deep passion for business ethics. The author’s meticulous research and dedication shine through his compelling narrative style, allowing even those unfamiliar with the topic to easily grasp complex concepts.
One aspect that particularly resonated with me was how Storchevoy effortlessly weaves together real-world examples and theoretical frameworks. He effectively combines philosophical perspectives with contemporary case studies to illustrate ethical dilemmas faced by businesses today. By grounding his arguments in practical scenarios, he bridges any perceived gap between academia and reality, making this book profoundly relevant.
In terms of structure, “Business Ethics as a Science” is well-organized and concise. With its 155-page count, it manages to cover an impressive range of topics without overwhelming readers. The clarity of presentation ensures that each chapter builds upon the previous one seamlessly.
Furthermore, I commend Springer International Publishing for their exceptional editorial work on this book. The high-quality production values elevate the reading experience and highlight the importance given to its content.
As much as I found myself captivated by Storchevoy’s writing style and insightful analysis, there were moments when certain areas could have been explored more deeply. While staying within the confines of brevity is appreciated, expanding upon certain subjects would have provided an even more comprehensive understanding of the nuances surrounding business ethics.
However, this minor critique does not detract from the overall impact of “Business Ethics as a Science.” Storchevoy successfully achieves his goal of encouraging readers to reflect on their own ethical values and consider how these align with the business world. The thought-provoking nature of this book genuinely left me questioning my own moral compass and its applicability in professional settings.
In conclusion, “Business Ethics as a Science” is an engaging and enlightening read that seamlessly merges theory and practice. Maxim Storchevoy’s expertise, combined with Springer International Publishing’s attention to detail, results in a book that leaves a lasting impression on its readers. Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur or an established business professional, this thought-provoking journey into the realm of ethics will undoubtedly broaden your perspectives and compel you to reevaluate your approach to business practices.

Business Ethics as a Science
The book considers how to make the methodology of business ethics more scientific, especially its normative branch. Storchevoy explores the attempts of economic theory to contribute to the scientific normative analysis of economic behavior, particularly the welfare economics of 1910-1950 and methodological discussions of economics and ethics from 1980-2015. He then examines the development of the methodological structure of business ethics in general since the 1980s and the scientific validity of normative business ethics, including stakeholder theory, the separation thesis, integral social contract theory, corporate social responsibility, virtue ethics and other frameworks. He concludes by suggesting an additional step to make business ethics a more systematic discipline by developing a typology of moral issues and dilemmas. Business Ethics as a Science will be a thought-provoking resource for students and practitioners of business ethics and economists alike.

A Scientific Approach To Ethics
Author by : Maxim Storchevoy
Languange Used : en
Release Date : 2017-12-27
Publisher by : Springer
ISBN :
Description : This book suggests that normative ethics should be developed as a social science, and that this will improve its reputation in business and society. Storchevoy defines four criteria of a good scientific method (clear definitions, correct logic, empirical verification, accurate measurement) and demonstrates how normative ethics can make use of them. He provides a historical review of the methodological evolution of normative ethics and outlines how it was moving in a nonlinear way towards this scientific development by the 16th century. A Scientific Approach to Ethics challenges the reputation of ethics among many within business and business schools as unscientific and argues that it can come to be seen as a scientific discipline able to reveal universal moral truth....

Description : Dragos Cuelebre, Lord der Wyr, muss eine Party schmeißen, ohne dabei jemanden zu verstümmeln. Das ist nicht ganz so einfach, wie es sich vielleicht anhört. Nach den zerstörerischen Ereignissen der letzten achtzehn Monate machen sich die Alten Völker jetzt auf den Weg nach Washington D.C., um den Frieden mit der Menschheit zu fördern. Da Dragos nicht für sein diplomatisches Wesen bekannt ist, muss er sich auf seine Gefährtin Pia verlassen, wenn es darum geht, ihm dabei zu helfen, durch ein Schlachtfeld von Worten und höflichem Lächeln zu navigieren, anstatt seine Krallen zu benutzen. Da Dragos‘ Paarungstrieb nahe an der Oberfläche brodelt, ist sein Temperament unberechenbarer als je zuvor und drohende Gewalt liegt in der Luft. Dann wird die menschliche Ehefrau eines berühmten Politikers ermordet und für Dragos und Pia beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit. Sie müssen diejenigen finden, die dahinter stecken, bevor sie selbst für das Verbrechen verantwortlich gemacht werden. Für Fans von Im Bann des Drachen und Das Versprechen des Blutes hält die neueste Novelle der Alten Völker Leidenschaft, Gefahr, politische Intrigen und Offenbarungen bereit, die Dragos‘ und Pias Leben für immer verändern werden. Dragos geht nach Washington ist der erste Teil einer Serie aus drei Geschichten über Pia, Dragos und ihren Sohn Liam.
