Dalla bioetica alla bioeconomia: Famiglia & Impresa

The starting point of this paper is a comparison between science and economy, considering how ethical approach could be a same key to understand some reasons of their recent crisis. We propose a theoretical framework based on the idea that families and firms are not only "private goods", but also "common goods". Our interest is concentrated upon an innovative approach of business ethics, the "Corporate Family Responsibility". Families and Firms can help each other, supported by institutions, to increase their common growth. A higher level of social benefits can be effective for achieving economic goals. The first part illustrates some theories on business ethics and family; the second, some practical perspectives in Italy.
