74Corporate character, corporate virtuesBusiness Ethics: A European Review 24 (S2): 99-114. 2015.This paper extends previous discussions of corporate character and corporate virtues. By drawing particularly on the work of Alasdair MacIntyre, it offers a perspective on context-dependent categories of the virtues.
