Corporate executives: Disasters and moral responsibility

Journal of Business Ethics · 1996 · Volume 15 · Issue 7

Abstract

In his article “The Moral Responsibility of Corporate Executives for Disasters”, John Bishop has argued that we are justified on moral considerations for holding corporate executives responsible for disasters resulting from corporate activities, even in circumstances where they could not reasonably have been expected to possess the information necessary to avert these disasters. I argue that he is mistaken in this claim.
