Rand's ethics in an academic business-management journal

[merjet]

There are three articles in The Academy of Management Review, a prominent academic business-management journal, that address Rand's ethics. The first champions Rand. The second, a response to the first, is critical. The third responds to the second. The main topic is integrity.

1. Integrity in Organizations: Beyond Honesty and Conscientiousness, by Thomas E. Becker.

2. Objections to an Objectivist Approach to Integrity, by Bruce Barry and Carroll U. Stephens.

3. Rebuttal to a Subjectivist Critique of an Objectivist Approach to Integrity in Organizations, by Edwin A. Locke and Becker.

They can be read online with a free account at JSTOR after putting it on "your shelf."

Nice catch, Merlin! I cited these works extensively in an undergraduate sociology paper on business ethics. I got an A on the paper and an A in the course, but I doubt that my professor actually read this, or the other papers. It was all halo effect.
