Descriere
For one semester/quarter courses in Business Ethics, Business and Society, and Ethical and Legal Environment of Business.
This widely used business ethics text begins by introducing students to moral reasoning. A collection of readings and cases from both philosophical literature and business articles apply ethical theory to real-life business situations. Well-known scandals involving companies like Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Merrill Lynch, and Parmalat have increased public awareness of business ethics, underscored its importance, and ushered in a new era of increased corporate regulation and governance.
Now, more than ever, a student planning on entering the business world, and anyone working for a corporation, investing in stock, or even interacting with businesses will benefit from a basic understanding of business ethics.

- Well-known case studies in business ethics on accounting, finance, marketing, and the environment illustrate real-life situations and decisions faced by managers and corporations.
- NEW - Updated and revised content throughout reflects dramatic changes that the field has undergone, including recent, news-worthy events:
- Case Studies
- The Enron Collapse by Stewart Hamilton
- “Working at Walmart” from Nickel and Dimed byBarbara Ehrenreich
- Others topics incude:
- The Pension Plan Crisis
- “United wins approval to dump pension plans” by Mark Skertic, Chicago Tribune
- “Unkept promises hit retirees” by Barbara Rose, Chicago Tribune
- Legislative Summary of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
- The Pension Plan Crisis
