- Abstract
Societies are confronted with a growing complexity of economic processes. At the same time, and due to this, companies feel an increasing ethical responsibility. In order to combine market forces and moral action despite this trend, it is essential to allocate responsibilities very clearly. Based on the Principal- Agent-Theory and empirical data from Germany's "first civic engagement report" this article discusses if and to what extent entrepreneurs, managers and employees can use their influence within the company to push moral concepts and behavior. They are better informed, have a wider range of opportunities and a higher involvement than customers to establish ethical behavior in the company.
