About the Book

This review of business ethics has a global and managerial focus. It includes the types of ethical issues commonly faced by business people, the importance of ethics from both macro and micro perspectives, and a description of the ethics currently practised by selected firms. There is an emphasis on the integrative social contracts approach to business ethics, with a compact treatment of consequentialist and nonconsequentialist ethical principles as a guideline for developing community norms. The text includes 20 short cases, covering a wide range of issues and well known oragnizations, such as Barings plc, Johnson & Johnson, Aer Lingus, Volvo, and Pepsi Cola. More than half of these cases feature organizations outside the USA.
