Philosophy of management
concepts of management from the perspectives of systems theory, phenomenological hermeneutics, corporate religion, and existentialism
Jacob Dahl Rendtorff
pp. 19-44
In this paper, I discuss recent approaches in the theory and philosophy of management of a complex society, namely Denmark, focusing on the concepts of leadership, corporate citizenship, public relations, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and ethics. This is a discussion of philosophy of management in a complex society. The discussion is presented in five sections: 1) the emergence of business ethics in Denmark; 2) the systems-theoretic approach to philosophy of management; 3) the phenomenological and hermeneutic approach to leadership and ethics in organizations; 4) corporate religion, existentialism, and Kierkegaard; and 5) a conclusion.
