163Mental Models, Moral Imagination and System Thinking in the Age of GlobalizationJournal of Business Ethics 78 (3): 463-474. 2008.After experiments with various economic systems, we appear to have conceded, to misquote Winston Churchill that "free enterprise is the worst economic system, except all the others that have been tried." Affirming that conclusion, I shall argue that in today's expanding global economy, we need to revisit our mind-sets about corporate governance and leadership to fit what will be new kinds of free enterprise. The aim is to develop a values-based model for corporate governance in this age of globa…Read more

50Moral Imagination, Trading Zones, and the Role of the Ethicist in NanotechnologyNanoEthics 3 (3): 185-195. 2009.The societal and ethical impacts of emerging technological and business systems cannot entirely be foreseen; therefore, management of these innovations will require at least some ethicists to work closely with researchers.

69Organization Ethics in HealthcareCambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics 9 (2): 145-146. 2000.Bioethics, clinical ethics, and professional ethics are mature, well-developed fields of applied ethics that focus on medical research, patient autonomy and patient care, patient–healthcare professional relationships, and issues that arise in clinical and other medical settings. However, despite these developments, little attention has been paid to the organizational aspects of healthcare in these fields. This is surprising, because in the last 30 years healthcare has become more and more instit…Read more
