This encyclopedia, edited by the past editors and founder of the Journal of Business Ethics, is the only reference work dedicated entirely to business and professional ethics. Containing over 2000 entries, this multi-volume, major research reference work provides a broad-based disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to all of the key topics in the field. The encyclopedia draws on three interdisciplinary and over-lapping fields: business ethics, professional ethics and applied ethics although the main focus is on business ethics. The breadth of scope of this work draws upon the expertise of human and social scientists, as well as that of professionals and scientists in varying fields. This work has come to fruition by making use of the expert academic input from the extraordinarily rich population of current and past editorial board members and section editors of and contributors to the Journal of Business Ethics.

This book engages the reader in a critical and necessary examination of the nature and range of behaviours that comprise diversity and discrimination in business and society. Discrimination and diversity are vitally important topics in the workplace as the manifestation of discriminatory practices leads to disfunction and a lack of effectiveness and efficiency in workplace settings. The chapters in this text not only conceptualize and clarify the meanings of diversity and discrimination but, as well, nicely unpack various debilitating features of the phenomenon and its various practices. This book is of particular interest to faculty teaching in schools of business, as well as researchers in business ethics and business management. As such, it provides an excellent venue for the exploration of the various negative impacts of diversity and discrimination.
