Synopsis

The subject of business ethics addresses what can be considered morally right and wrong in the way businesses make decisions and conduct their activities. Business Ethics is a lively and engaging textbook covering the foundations of business ethics and applying these theories, concepts and tools to each of the corporation's major stakeholders. Written from a European perspective, the text considers the implications of three major challenges facing the corporation: corporate citizenship, globalization and sustainability.

It features lots of new cases and vignettes as well as updates of favourites from the first edition. The high level of pedagogical features has been extended for the new edition, with new features including 'Ethics on Screen' and 'Key Readings'. The online resource centre has been developed further with new features including more teaching notes, incorporating review and discussion questions for lecturers, and additional weblinks for students.
