It is often argued that a view of managerial responsibility which is concerned with the impact of management decisions on stakeholders is more ethically viable than one which considers the impact of such decisions on shareholders alone. I agree with this position, but it is unclear how corporate managers should function as moral agents and determine what is good for the corporation as a whole. More spe cifically, it is unclear how managers can create a fair balance among the legitimate claims of the various constituencies which are impacted by management's decisions. I shall argue that Aristotle's theory of moral virtue is useful in furnishing ethical guidance for corporate managers, and his analysis in the Nicomachean Ethics and the Politics is helpful in both clarifying an important difficulty in determining a just distribution of corporate goods and in providing a plausible solution to this problem.1
