Com o intento de analisar e desenvolver qual o papel da ética na empresa, esta dissertação desenvolve-se com objetivo de demonstrar que a ética não é instrumental à empresa, não se restringe a uma ferramenta de gestão.
Nesse sentido, para a análise desta questão, considero que é importante definir o que é uma empresa. Como tal, a análise começa por se centrar na teoria económica da firma mostrando as suas principais características e os seus limites. Contudo, há uma questão fundamental que não é tratada por esta teoria, a questão do estatuto ontológico da empresa, ou seja que tipo de entidade é uma empresa.
Quando falamos de empresas, falamos de entes que realmente existem como agentes de pleno direito (por si sós e para lá dos indivíduos humanos que os constituem) ou de meros agregados de pessoas/contratos/objetos, sem qualquer tipo existência independente destes?
Aquilo que defendo é que as empresas são entidades reais e nesse sentido são agentes que vivem e desenvolvem uma determinada cultura, um ethos e são responsáveis pela sua ação. Esse ethos fundamenta-se essencialmente na confiança, base de toda a vida social que se define essencialmente por relações de troca.
My aim is to analyze and develop the role of ethics in the firm, this dissertation is developed in order to demonstrate that ethics is not instrumental to the firm, i.e. it is not restricted to a management tool. In order, to analyze this topic, it is important to define what a firm is. In this sense, the analysis begins with a focus on the theory of the firm showing its main features and its limits. However, there is a fundamental question that is not addressed by the theory of the firm, the question of the ontological status of the firm, i.e. what type of entity a firm is. When we speak about firms, do we speak about entities that really exist (per se and beyond the individuals which constitute them) or, simple aggregations of people/contracts/legal objects without any independent existence? What I propose in this dissertation is that firms are real entities and accordingly they are agents that live and develop a particular culture, an ethos and are responsible for their actions. This ethos is based primarily on trust, the basis of all social life that is essentially defined by relations of exchange.
