Descriere
This new first edition introduces business students, scholars, and practitioners to moral reasoning as it applies naturally in business. It "works through" rather than simply "presents" the moral philosophy's relevance to business, thus teaching students how to do moral reasoning as opposed to just learning about moral reasoning.
By choosing examples and questions that show students how one cannot make informed business decisions if you cannot think philosophically; the author identifies, develops, and critically appraises the main approaches in contemporary moral philosophy as they apply to the specific problems that business people confront.

Caracteristici
Hallmark Features:
Chooses a different approach from the norm by weaving cases and examples into the text in a summary fashion, resulting in a concise book on normative reasoning that can organize thoughts and intuitions brought forth by a variety of possible cases rather than add to the existing shelf of anthologies and case compendia.
Visits the main mileposts of western moral cannon, but goes further to show that these theories are part of the cannon because they are solutions to problems we face, rather than the other way round. It demonstrates that they are positions a reflective person may naturally arrive at when reasoning in good faith about moral problems.
Focuses on the basic arguments in moral philosophy that are most relevant to business practice: The possibility of reasoned argument about ethics at all (Chapters One and Two); Whether moral questions can be satisfactorily answered with reference to the virtues, social roles, and cultural conventions (Chapters Three and Four); The claim that consequences—in particular for people’s well-being—are all that matter morally (Chapters Five to Seven); The disputed need for rights and how to justify and specify them (Chapters Eight to Twelve, which include discussions of distributive justice and social contract theory).
Engages the reader in the process of moral reasoning and not merely its product.
Focuses on the justification and development of ideas rather than their exposition and application
Develops an argument broadly in favor of a social-contract approach to business ethics.
Each chapter ends with a short section entitled “Summary of the argument in this chapter”, which gives a roadmap to the book as well as enables instructors to judge whether to use the book as a whole or excerpt individual parts
Every chapter contributes a theoretical development of the ideas that are predictably generated by case discussions on the topic, so that case readings or other texts can be most effectively interweaved.
An appendix gives further references and suggestions for supplementary material to match the text.
Can be paired with MyEthicsKit for Just Business, helping instructors bring the world into their classroom and take their classroom into the world. This is a groundbreaking online tool that features online video casebooks, interactive simulations where students roll play, newsfeeds that allow students to apply the core concepts of the course to breaking events in the business world, a primary source library with all of the additional readings that you might assign and an assessment/study plan program that allows students to gauge their level of understanding of the core concepts of the course.
