This second edition adds a dozen original case studies, as well as new sections on global perspectives (with articles on Islamic, Confucian, and Buddhist business ethics) and entrepreneurship in the non-profit sector. Background material on ethical theory and the nature of business ethics is included to orient readers new to this field.



A thorough and up-to-date collection of readings and case studies on a range of key issues in business ethics.

Arvustused

COMMENTS on the first edition

This anthology from Fritz Allhoff and Anand J. Vaidya is the most comprehensive I have ever seen in my 30 plus years in the field. Diverse students will relish this replacement for boring textbooks. Moreover, it belongs on the bookshelf of any serious applied ethics scholar. Gregory A. Daneke, Chair in Business Ethics, University of Calgary and Professor, Arizona State University

Business in Ethical Focus could just as easily have been entitled Ethics in Business Focus as the volume provides a truly integrative view of the role that each plays in the other. The anthology contains an insightful collection of historical and contemporary classics, examining a broad range of internal and external ethical challenges we all face in todays complex organizational world. Combined with a series of short cases and thoughtful section introductions by the editors, the volume provides the reader with a solid foundation in business ethics that will facilitate a much needed questioning about the critical role that morality must play within the global business world. It is a wonderful reader that will be very useful in a broad range of courses. Anthony F. Buono, Professor of Management & Sociology, Bentley College and Coordinator, Bentley Alliance for Ethics & Social Responsibility

It is all here in this volume. All the famous names from the ancients like Aristotle and the Buddha to all the important contemporary thinkers. This book gives the student easy access to the key debates between different philosophies as well as to the debates on current hot topics. A fascinating resource for anyone interested in corporate social responsibility or business ethics. Colin Fisher, Professor of Managerial Ethics and Values, Nottingham Trent University
