Publications

The Centre for Advanced Research in Management and Applied Ethics (CARMAE) is engaged in and carries out research on various topics relevant to the business sector, authorities and other institutional actors, as well as academia and civil society. We have a strong academic background, but we are also highly involved in organizations and professions from a pragmatic standpoint.

This section contains general information about all our publications. Given the fact that our work is not funded from public funds, most of the publications are not free of charge. All publications funded through donations and sponsorships are free of charge.
