Firms that operate in a market economy depend upon innovations in order to achieve competitive advantages that sustainably secure their survival. A treatment of this type of dynamic competition thus has to envisage the decisional freedom that is involved in these situations. Here, business ethics as the discipline that evaluates these types of decisional freedom - in terms of facilitating as well as in terms of using them - has a specific task to fulfil.
The conference is supposed to
- draw attention to a particular area of interdisciplinary research where business ethics competencies are necessary but not yet involved on a regular basis,
- specify the role of business ethics in the assessment of innovations and discuss example areas, and
- facilitate an interdisciplinary discussion concerning different fields of innovation that allows for mutual learning processes.
This discussion could be a first step towards a general concept to assess and evaluate innovations that takes into account availabilities and specific decisional freedom of actors as well as the consequences of changing regulatory frameworks. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the book series "Wissenschaftsethik und Technikfolgenbeurteilung" of the Europäische Akademie.
