Paul Griseri – författare

Intended for the full range of students who are studying on Masters courses and MBAs, this book has been written to accompany them during one of the most challenging times in their lives and covers the essential elements they will need to be able to work successfully.

This book fills the gap for a text which presents a theoretically-based critique of management knowledge but in an accessible form which is relevant to MBA students and practitioners alike. Students have to learn and digest accepted 'management knowledge' and practitioners look to gurus as a source of 'management knowledge' without any appreciation of how secure these ideas may be.This book will therefore be relevant to both students and practitioners in questioning how far management research actually leads to genuine knowledge of organizations.

A new text for new realities: Business Ethics & Corporate Social Responsibility charts a course for students through the unprecedented challenges and turbulence of modern business and its implications for people across the globe. Moving beyond the Anglo-American focus of existing works, the authors employ a refreshingly international perspective to leave students with a broad and reflective understanding of business ethics. A flexible 3-part structure, developed from extensive market feedback, aligns with the latest course structures, while a strong focus on environmental ethics and sustainability throughout provides market-leading coverage of this vital issue. An unparalleled range of case studies, including chapter cases and longer premium cases supplied by HBR, Ivey and ECCH, combine with a full set of online supporting resources to make this the complete introduction to business ethics in a rapidly evolving world.
