"The paper aims to make a contribution to the overcoming of what Freeman has characterized by his
“separation thesis” and, based on a theory of the firm, the resources-processes-outcomes approach,
developing of a business economic-ethics approach. The resources-processes-outcomes approach draws on
two main theoretical concepts: integrative production and customer integration. The concept of customer

extension of the ethical dimensions of the available theory, step two shall contribute to the development
of a business economic-ethical theory." (author's abstract)... view less
