Christoph Luetge (born 10 November 1969) is a German philosopher and economist notable for his work on business ethics, experimental ethics and political philosophy. He is Full Professor of Business Ethics at Technische Universität München, Bavaria, Germany.
After studying philosophy and business informatics in Braunschweig, Göttingen and Paris, Luetge was a PhD student at Technical University of Berlin and Braunschweig University of Technology from 1997 to 1999. He was a visiting scholar at the University of Pittsburgh in 1997 and research fellow at the University of California, San Diego in 1998. In 1999, he received his doctorate in philosophy and became a research assistant at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich. He was visiting professor at Venice International University in 2003. From 2004, Luetge was Assistant Professor at the department of philosophy of Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, from which he also received his habilitation in 2005. Christoph Luetge was acting professor at Witten/Herdecke University from 2007 to 2008 and at Braunschweig University of Technology from 2008 to 2010. Since August 2010, he holds the newly created Peter Löscher Endowed Chair of Business Ethics at Technical University of Munich.
In his work on business ethics, Luetge advocates a contractarian approach termed „order ethics“. This approach focuses on the institutional and order framework of a society and its economy. Both formal and informal order elements are analyzed in order ethics, which especially highlights the relation of competition and ethics and reaches out into thematic fields such as Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity.
Luetge and his team have established the „Experimental Ethics Lab“ (EEL) at Technische Universität München, in which ethically relevant behavior of real human subjects is analyzed within a controlled decision framework. These experiments are performed on a variety of different topics such as microcredit lending, compliance and whistle blowing or cheating behavior.
