Item type:Publication, Cultural Business Ethics: A Multilevel Theory(2025-03-14)While 'culture' is an omnipresent notion in management, economics, and business ethics, it is often used in the sense of "climate" (Denison 1996). In this contribution, we approach culture in a different manner while emphasizing a methodological cultural perspective. We will first outline a general cultural approach in a Weberian tradition that focuses on five crucial levels of analysis: elements of a theory of action, social relations, institutions, organizations, and system theories. Based on that, we will sketch selected considerations by identifying elements of organizational ethics, business and society relations, and societal systems perspectives. This will allow us to outline a broad spectrum of conceptual considerations by introducing concepts such as moral (bounded) rationality, multi-rational and poly-lingual organizations, the ethics of organizational fields, and systemic responsibility. Finally, we sketch some directions for further research, which not only concerns social-science approaches but also offers some suggestions for bridging our approach with normative business ethics.Type:journal articleJournal:ORDO - Jahrbuch für die Ordnung von Wirtschaft und GesellschaftVolume:74 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Digital Freedom: Opening Up the DebateThis paper contributes to the normative analysis of digital technologies and data-driven practices by broadening the analytical perspective on freedom. Many contemporary discussions of the digital context tend to operate with a relatively narrow conception of freedom, which centers on the absence of interference. While this approach is in line with liberalism’s on-going paradigmatic standing in much of the Western world, we argue that digital theorists have much to gain from opening their discussions to social and positive conceptions of freedom. Drawing on the work of Axel Honneth and John Christman, we show how such a change in perspective gives rise to new considerations for freedom in the digital context, such as collective self-determination, capabilities, and mutual recognition. Building on these ideas, we sketch three demands that follow from such an inclusive conception of freedom: empowering people via new forms of political participation, increasing diversity and collective awareness in the digital industry, as well as using progressive political regulation to unleash digital technology’s social potential.Type:journal articleJournal:Morals & MachinesVolume:2Issue:1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Algorithms, Decision-making, and the Human Outside the Code(2021-12-18); In this intervention, we discuss to what extent the term “decision” serves as an adequate terminology for what algorithms actually do. Although calculations of algorithms might be perceived as or be an important basis for a decision, we argue, that this terminology is not only misleading but also problematic. A calculation is not a decision, we claim, since a decision (implicitly) includes two important aspects: imaginaries about the future and a “fictional surplus” as well as the process of justification. Our proposal can be seen as an invitation to reflect but the role of “humans outside the code” (and not merely “in the loop”).Type:journal articleJournal:Moral & MachinesVolume:1Issue:2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
