PhD defence: Anna Kirkebæk Gosovic (POSTPONED)
POSTPONED: New date in May is to be announced
Today’s business world is increasingly characterized by demands from shareholders and civil society to manage businesses in a responsible and ethical way. Sometimes, companies’ efforts to comply with these demands materialize into ‘ethics programs’ that are put in place to ensure ethical conduct within companies. With empirical point of departure in one such ethics program in a biopharmaceutical company, and based on a multi-sited, longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork, this study investigates what happens when an ethics program travels to business units abroad and how it is interpreted within these new national contexts. The study further explores business ethics as a practical endeavor within different ‘vocational communities of practice’ in the company and investigates how the ethics program is interpreted and enacted within these communities.
