For undergraduate and graduate management courses.

 

This text is a vehicle for classroom discussion on recent, ethical business cases preparing students for future challenges in their careers.

 

Global Perspective

 

This textbook integrates a global focus within each of the 11 chapters of the textbook.  The global emphasis allows students to see the global impact of ethical decisions. It also encourages the instructor to integrate ethical topics from a global perspective.

 

Real World Business Ethics Cases

 

The cases highlight a number of different, modern, ethical issues, including, but not limited to, potentially defective products, inaccurate financial statements, illegal investor trading, and top management misconduct.

 

Comprehensive and Diverse Selection of Ethics Topics

 

With 11 chapters and 23 cases, this is one of the most comprehensive business ethics textbooks on the market.  In addition to having a comprehensive nature for ethical issues presented in the cases, our textbook has chapters on financial reporting, information technology, and strategy that are not included in many other business ethics textbooks.

 

Central Theme Linking Each Chapter

 

Each chapter incorporates its own theme so the teacher has flexibility in how he/she covers the material. The authors’ goal was to link each chapter with one common theme, which focuses primarily on the interaction of the firm with its various stakeholders. The goal of each chapter is to present ethical challenges that students will face and help them see the consequences of potential decisions.
