ABSTRACT
As we approach the second decade of the twenty-first century, the field of business ethics continues to gain momentum in business practice, university curricula, and in governmental and non-governmental organizations worldwide (Holland and Albrecht 2013). Nearly every Fortune 500 company has established corporate social responsibility commitments and mission statements (EABIS 2012) and the impacts of global financial and environmental crises, business misconduct, gender discrimination, pay inequality, whistle-blowing and corruption continue to be named by the next generation of business executives and leaders as some of the most troubling ethical issues of our time (Crane and Matten 2004). The theoretical, philosophical, pedagogical and cultural impetus for a fresh understanding of business ethics is, arguably, coming from developments in a number of sub-disciplines and intellectual streams. One of the most prominent of these developments is feminist ethics.
