Synopsis

Business Ethics is an exciting, new, student focused text which covers business ethics challenges and practices from an overall European perspective. It is the first business ethics textbook to feature a thorough assessment of the implications of three major challenges facing the corporation: corporate citizenship, globalization and sustainability. The first part of the book covers the foundations of business ethics, including the nature of business ethics, the social role of the corporation, ethical theory, ethical decision making, and business ethics management. The second part applies these theories, concepts and tools to each of the corporation's major stakeholders. The book includes numerous cases, vignettes and examples that vividly bring to life the problems and practices of business ethics in Europe. It is written in a lively and accessible way, and the reader is provided with directed study questions, personal dilemmas and guidance for understanding and applying theory, making it an exciting and practical learning tool.
