35Should Managers Talk About Rights?Philosophy of Management 3 (2): 3-11. 2003.Controversy surrounds the ‘intrusion’ of the discourse of rights into workplace relationships. This is explored by examining the nature of rights through the analysis of the idea of a ‘right to manage’. Purported justifications of the right to manage in terms of either property or contract are shown to be inadequate, thus illustrating the need to incorporate a degree of consequentialism in the articulation and justification of rights. The value of a rights-approach is argued to lie in the identi…Read more

69A Human Rights Approach to Developing Voluntary Codes of Conduct for Multinational CorporationsBusiness Ethics Quarterly 16 (2): 255-269. 2006.The criticism that voluntary codes of conduct are ineffective can be met by giving greater centrality to human rights in such codes.

Approached in this way the human rights obligations of …Read more
