Purchase options and add-ons
This book evaluates strategies for managing ethical conflict. Macro-approaches that attribute select values to entire peoples and claim supremacy for these values are suspect. A micro-approach, focusing on the ethics of individual thinkers, is better. The study uses the ethics of Confucius and Tetsuro Watsuji to derive a process-based universal ethic that respects local differences yet is not relativistic.

Her books include: Trust in Business: Barriers and Bridges; The Ground of Professional Ethics; Corporate Governance: Ethics Across the Board; and Rethinking Feminist Ethics: Care, Trust, Empathy. In 1999, National Public Radio conducted an hour-long interview with her about her book Rethinking Feminist Ethics. Her writings have been translated into Chinese, Spanish, and Bahasi.

In 1998, Professor Koehn was invited to found the new Center for Business Ethics (CBES) in Houston, Texas. In 1999, CBES hosted a major conference entitled Corporate Governance: Ethics Across the Board. The conference, underwritten by a grant from Pfizer Inc, focussed on ethical, as well as legal, problems connected with the art of managing. The Houston mayors office has invited her to chair the Ethics Subcommittee of the Houston 2012 Foundations bid to bring the Olympics to Houston.
