The first volume in the Leeds School Series on Business and Society, this collection demonstrates the valuable results of a timely exchange of ideas regarding the nature of executive compensation. Including discussions across academic disciplines, perspectives, and intellectual orientations, The Ethics of Executive Compensation gathers for the first time into a single volume a series of talks delivered on this oft-debated topic at the 2004 Japha Symposium, University of Colorado. Providing the reader with insight into the fundamental problems from a social and ethical perspective, as well as proposing a myriad of possible solutions, this book proves that business ethicists, philosophers, and business scholars have much to learn from one another.
