This book looks at business ethics from the perspective of the business practitioner, but with the rigour of the moral philosopher. Intended for introductory students of business, commerce and management studies, Business Ethics at Work begins by setting business clearly in the context of creating value for its owners, and develops a practical ethical decision model which can be simply and relevantly applied to the hard moral choices with which business people are faced day to day. Against this background, some of the major ethical issues which arise in business are explored, for example, in human resource management, finance, marketing and advertising, the management of the environment and corporate governance. In conclusion the book looks at the nature of ethical audit and argues that for the business of the future, the identification of its ethical values and their integration into its policies and practices will be a crucial ingredient of success.

The many new business opportunities and prospects emerging in Europe within the Common Market and other Western and Eastern European countries also raise important ethical challenges which form the particular perspective of "Business Ethics in a a New Europe". Can we shape a vision of the future conduct of business in Europe? As countries do business with and within each other, what part will be played by different cultures and values? What are the ethical dimensions of such important issues as corporate communications, the Social Charter, privatization, takeovers, and the social protection of Europe's inhabitants? What moral values are currently held by business people in Europe, and how can these be made effective? Above all, how is business in a New Europe affected by global environmental issues and the needs of the Third World? All these and other issues are treated in this important new volume. "Business Ethics in a New Europe" contains contributions by authors from Europe and abroad, who together offer an informed and stimulating collection of ethical insights to enhance the conduct of business in an evolving Europe.

ETHICS IN THE MELTING-POT Jack Mahoney & Elizabeth Vallance Professor Jack Mahoney is Director of the King's College Business Ethics Research Centre, University of London, and Elizabeth Vallance is Visiting Professor in Politics at Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London. AT lHE START of this century Israel Zangwill wrote of 'the great Melting Pot where all the races of Europe are melting and reforming'. He was, of course, writing about the USA and had the American immigration experience in mind; but today one need not cross the Atlantic to see Europe as a melting-pot and its members in a state of profound flux and mutation. In Western Europe, what began in mid-century as a largely Franco German attempt to prevent a recurrence of European war, by identifying and creating a common industrial policy in coal and steel, evolved by degrees into an industrial alliance of western European nations and the creation of a Single European Market. Originally six, then ten, and currently twelve, the number of member states of the European Economic Community, more recently the European Community, is still on the increase, as new countries apply to join and others consider a future approach.
