approach

Glauner assumes that today's forms of economic activity drive a spiral of depletion both on the level of economic theory formation and on the level of entrepreneurial decision-making processes. The economic, social and ecological basis of business is increasingly being eroded.

Resilience , sustainable competitiveness and economic excellence are required . These required the development of sustainable business models and corporate cultures that align their purpose with the foundation of holistic benefits and added value. Economic, ethical and social demands are associated with it.

theory

Companies and social systems are “living” organisms of a higher order. The lived values are the DNA of the system and they shape the mental model with which the environment is perceived. In doing so, they determine the radius of action, focus and the ability to develop.

The interplay of these values ​​is the corporate culture. As the "system of meaning" of the corporate culture in action, the primary frame of reference is a perception filter that shapes the business model and guides individual, institutional actions. The psychological and systemic functioning of values ​​in the individual and in social systems are contrary.

The development of benefit-oriented organizational and corporate cultures aligns this counter-rotation in such a way that the poles of every social system - the existential field of motivation of the individual and the collective value-relatedness of social interaction spaces - add value.

Ethicology

Aristotle is said to have said: “We cannot change the wind, but we can set the sails differently.” That means we can change course given the given boundary conditions. In the initial situation, the values ​​of the mental model in economy and corporate management are based on scarcity, competition, growth and earnings. Their interplay establishes the paradox of the destructive increase in prosperity. Today's forms of global economic activity lead to an unprecedented level of opportunities for individual prosperity, which, however, increasingly threatens to destroy the economic, social and ecological basis.

This cycle of wealth-increasing destruction can be broken with the new model of ethicology . In it, the ideas of scarcity, competition, growth and profit are replaced by the concept of symbiotic value foundations that are economically, ecologically and ethically viable. This requires the development of business models and corporate cultures that are committed to the global ethic values ​​of humanity, justice, partnership, fairness, non-violence and reciprocity, and which are supported by the ecological natural principles of locality, freedom, fragmentation, diversity and benefit.

"Ethical action aims to use resource creation processes to set economic value creation in motion which, in its overall resource balance, lead to resource growth and not to the destruction of resources."

- Friedrich Glauner : CSR and waiting cockpits

In the design of comprehensive processes of participation, empowerment and resource creation, ethicological business models set in motion value-added cycles in which everyone involved and also the systems surrounding society and nature benefit. They break the depletion spiral of acceleration, disruption, concentration and the depletion of resources and lead to an economy of prosperity that will shape the consciousness markets of the future.
