Tóm tắt

Cả trong thế giới công chúng và kinh doanh, cũng như trong học thuật lẫn thực tiễn, các ý tưởng của Adam Smith được coi là nền tảng của kinh tế học hiện đại. Khi các điều kiện kinh tế hiện nay và các phương thức quản lý bị chỉ trích, Adam Smith thường được nhắc đến bởi cả những người bảo vệ và những kẻ chỉ trích hiện trạng. Người ta tin rằng Smith đã xác định các thuật ngữ tham chiếu thiết yếu của những cuộc tranh luận này, chẳng hạn như việc theo đuổi hợp lý lợi ích cá nhân của từng cá nhân và sự phân bổ tối ưu hàng hóa trong các thị trường tự do nhờ vào hoạt động của một "bàn tay vô hình". Trong bài viết này, chúng tôi đặt câu hỏi liệu quan điểm tiêu chuẩn về Smith, nhà kinh tế học, có vững chắc hay không. Chúng tôi cung cấp một cái nhìn tổng quát rộng rãi về tài liệu phụ đã có từ các nhà kinh tế học, các nhà đạo đức kinh doanh, và các triết gia, so sánh các đánh giá của họ với những yếu tố quan trọng trong hệ thống lý thuyết của Smith. Kết quả là, chúng tôi cho thấy Smith, xa rời việc là một người ủng hộ một quan niệm giao dịch kinh tế không giá trị hoặc thậm chí thụt lùi về giá trị, đã đứng lên vì một mô hình kinh doanh dựa trên đức hạnh và định hướng giá trị. Do đó, chúng tôi lập luận rằng giáo dục quản lý hiện tại và phương pháp giảng dạy đạo đức kinh doanh cần phải được thay đổi, và một số kết luận chiến lược nhất định cần được rút ra cho thực tiễn kinh doanh.
