Corporate accounting scandals have garnered significant media attention in recent years, raising concerns about unethical practices in the business world. In response to the decline in societal trust in businesses, research into the ethics of organizations and their leaders has become increasingly crucial. In this timely book, Ericson delves into the moral human agency involved in business, guiding the reader through the comprehensive process of coffee production, from bean to cup. Through the illustration of the ethical implications and opportunities in producing Löfbergs coffee, Ericson emphasizes the significance of the morally-imbued connections established between practitioners and other participants. These activities have the potential to contribute to a sustainable, profitable, and competitive future while also accounting for justice through reciprocity of mutual benefit, respect, and meaning. By promoting the reintroduction of ethics in strategy research, this book holds great interest and value for strategy researchers, business leaders, and sustainability directors.
