Department of Marketing and Logistics Management, Far East University, Tainan, Taiwan 4. College of Management, Chang Jung Christian University, Tainan, Taiwan This study explores the research paradigms of contemporary business ethics research in 2001–2008. With citation data from the top two business ethics journals included in the Social Sciences Citation Index, this study conducts citation and co-citation analysis to identify the most important publications, scholars, and research themes in the business ethics area and then maps the intellectual structure of business ethics studies between 2001 and 2008. The results show that current business ethics studies cluster around four major research themes, including morality and social contract theory, ethical decision making, corporate social responsibility, and stakeholder theory. This study helps profile the invisible network of knowledge production in business ethics and provides important insights on current research paradigms of business ethics studies. Introduction social issues in business (in the 1960s), the rise of business ethics as an emerging field (in the 1970s), the Business ethics research grew out of religion’s inter- initial consolidation period (the first half of the est in ethics in business and management education’s 1980s), and the refinement and further development concern with social issues (De George 1987). While of business ethics (after 1985). the history of ethics in business is a long one, the Research on business ethics has since developed development of business ethics is brief, and some rapidly, yet no recent study has examined the status scholars even contend that business ethics is too of contemporary business ethics research, and thus, recent a phenomenon to have a history. De George it is not very clear how contemporary business ethics (1987) reviewed the development of business ethics in research has evolved, what the status of the present the 1980s, and his study showed that research on business ethics studies is, and what their research business ethics had experienced five different stages: paradigms are.
