Beskrivning

Corporations are under fire. Hardly a day goes by that executive conduct doesn’t appear as a topic – or, more accurately, as a problem – in the media. This leads to increased public pressure on corporations, many of whom are reacting and publicly assuming their corporate responsibility. This book represents an introduction to and overview of the diverse aspects of the ethical challenges confronting companies today. It introduces executives, students and interested observers to the complex trends and developments in business ethics. On the one hand, this book presents industry-specific topics in ethics, and on the other provides a general, interdisciplinary survey of the ethical dimensions of management and business.

Aus den Rezensionen: "Die Frage sei nicht langer ob, sondern wie Wirtschaft und Ethik vereint werden konnen ... so die These der drei Herausgeber in ihrer Einfuhrung zu dem vorliegenden auf Englisch erschienenem Buch. ... Das Buch ist klar gegliedert und enthalt Literaturangaben. ... Format und Bindung sind angenehm und stabil. Es ist begrussenswert, dass zu diesem Thema, dessen Bedeutung zurzeit besonders wachst, ein so umfassendes Buch herausgegeben wurde ..." (http://www.socialnet.de/rezensionen/5255.php)
