Disturbing Business Ethics

Carl Rhodes is Professor of Organization Studies at the University of Technology Sydney Business School. Carl’s research investigates the ethical and political condition in which contemporary organizations operate and its relationship with their behaviour. Current projects focus on cultural and gender diversity and discrimination in leadership, and business practice’s vexed association with democracy and justice. This work draws extensively on post-structuralist ethical traditions, most especially as they relate to the work of Emmanuel Levinas and his interlocutors. Carl’s most recent books are CEO Society: The Corporate Takeover of Everyday Life (Zed, 2018 with Peter Bloom), and The Companion to Ethics and Politics in Organizations (Routledge, 2015 with Alison Pullen). Carl’s academic work can also be found in journals such as Organization Studies, Human Relations, The Business Ethics Quarterly, The Journal of Business Ethics and Gender, Work and Organization. He regularly contributes to the media with articles and commentary on issues related to ethics, politics and business.
