Abstract

In this paper I offer a conceptual analysis of key themes in the development of an account of ethics adequate to inter-organisational collaboration (IOC). In particular I focus on three conditions that reframe and render problematic standard accounts of business ethics based on the concept of belonging and attendant rights and obligations, namely: the ethical consequences of the blurring of borders as a structural precondition of collaboration; the entanglement of aims and obligations as result of the ambiguity of borders; the problem of exit and coercion within the collaboration form. In concluding I delineate the parameters of and make the case towards an ethics of IOC.
