General bacha debele statement

It is a philosophical document in which the foundations of the notions of collective responsibility are studied. The notion of collective responsibility has been a comprehensive study of business ethics. The study was both theoretical and empirical. However, the notion of responsibility is philosophical rather than empirical or theoretical. Therefore, there is an appropriate need for a conceptual philosophical study of the subject. The notion of responsibility is ethical. Mainly, ethical notions are individualistic. Ethical notions such as responsibility are based on the agent, which implies that collective responsibility involves appropriate ethical collective agents. This is not clear what types of agents could be. Therefore, the notion of collective responsibility is an extremely interesting and important study subject. Ethics is one of the deepest areas of philosophy and this type of paper can only be an introductory document that is only "about" the problem of ethics and business ethics .

So far, it seems obvious, but the next steps are not so obvious: how should we approach the problem?
