Kapitelvorschau:

Wie prägt die soziale Einbettung von Unternehmen deren ethische Organisationskultur? Dieser Artikel verbindet die Literatur zu sozialer Einbettung (social embeddedness) und Organisationskultur, um einen konzeptionellen Rahmen zu entwickeln, der Organisationen basierend auf dem Ursprung (extern oder intern) und der Anwendbarkeit (eng oder breit) ihrer Werte und Grundannahmen klassifiziert. Auf dieser Basis wird das Konzept der extern verankerten organisatorischen Weltanschauungen (externally anchored organizational worldviews; ExAnOW) eingeführt, die umfassend durch ein extern formuliertes Annahmengerüst geprägt sind. Der Artikel zeigt die empirische Relevanz dieses Phänomens in der unternehmensethischen Praxis auf und skizziert sodann eine Forschungsagenda zur Untersuchung von ExAnOWs und der weiteren sozialen Einbettung von Organisationskulturen.
