title = "Contractarian Business Ethics Today",
abstract = "Together with pragmatism, rights-based approaches, stakeholder theory, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics, contractarianism belongs to the major frameworks of justification in present day business ethics. This chapter aims to assess the credentials of contractarian business ethics (CBE) as a social contract argument. It proceeds on a comparative analysis of the use of the social contract model in two earlier domains, i.e. political authority and social justice. Building on this comparison, it then develops four criteria to apply the social contract model properly to the domain of organizational ethics.",
