Synopsis

A new text for new realities: Business Ethics & Corporate Social Responsibility charts a course for students through the unprecedented challenges and turbulence of modern business and its implications for people across the globe. Moving beyond the Anglo-American focus of existing works, the authors employ a refreshingly international perspective to leave students with a broad and reflective understanding of business ethics. A flexible 3-part structure, developed from extensive market feedback, aligns with the latest course structures, while a strong focus on environmental ethics and sustainability throughout provides market-leading coverage of this vital issue. An unparalleled range of case studies, including chapter cases and longer premium cases supplied by HBR, Ivey and ECCH, combine with a full set of online supporting resources to make this the complete introduction to business ethics in a rapidly evolving world.
