Synopsis

For courses in Business Ethics, Moral Issues in Business, Social Issues in Business, Business and Society, International Business Ethics, and Issues in International Business.

This systematic, integrated investigation of the field of business ethics is presented from an informed philosophical point of view. It argues that ethics is the glue as well as the oil that makes business possible, addressing the full gamut of issues: from such macro considerations as the moral justification of economic systems to such micro issues as proper computer use by employees.

About this title

Synopsis:

The first edition of De George's "Business Ethics" was one of the first textbooks devoted to a systematic treatment of the entire field of business ethics. In the new third edition, "Business Ethics" applied this systematic approach to the most topical issues, including insider trading, corporate takeovers, AIDS testing and computer crime. The text is accessible to students with no prior coursework in philosophy. It begins with the technique of moral reasoning and argumentation and proceeds to explicitly apply those techniques to moral issues that arise in business. The author's systematic treatment of topics communicates to students the constructive value of thinking through issues in business ethics. Students come to see how to arrive at answers, instead of giving up on problems because there seems to be no way to choose between proposed solutions.
