Abstract

This subsection of the handbook focuses on individual and organizational virtues. To set the context, this introductory chapter addresses the question of whether and how we may speak sensibly of virtues and vices of organizations, as well as of the individuals within them. To understand organizations in this way, however, is potentially to invest them with agency and this remains a controversial issue – are organizations, as well as the individuals within them, moral agents? Having laid out the terms of debate for these two related issues, the chapter concludes by introducing the other papers in this subsection.
