Description

Business Ethics examines the ethics of business through issues related to common business situations. The fifth edition discusses theories of ethics connected with business and explores the complexities of business sustainability- the difficulties of operating profitably while upholding society's increasing demands for ethical and social responsibility.

  • Appropriate balance between theory, principles and conceptual tools, and practical examples and case studies.
  • New pedagogical features in each chapter enhance engagement and understanding. The new pedagogical features include clear learning objectives, definitions of key terms and reflection points.
  • Significant revisions to Chapter 7: Professional ethics, and Chapter 8: The Environment, both with a new focus and greater relevance to business students.
