Ethics and Business
Ethics and Business explores the enduring topic of ethics in business, intensifying the conversation that has persisted since the dawn of limited companies. Modern challenges such as privatization, technological and digital innovation, shifts in moral perception, economic and financial crises, and globalization provoke ongoing debate regarding corporate conduct within society.
The book proposes that business ethics should foster an open dialogue on norms and values, supported by a robust methodology. Ethics transcends geographical borders as well as the boundaries of individual moral imagination. It should embrace both harmony and conflict, equipping readers to address the latter. Grounded in academic research, ethics illuminate the complexities of the world and the challenges faced by companies on multiple levels.
Structured into three parts, Ethics and Business examines ethics at varying levels. Part one delves into individual-level ethics. Part two concentrates on ethics within the business context. Finally, part three extends the discussion to ethics in a globalized framework.
Each chapter addresses ethical complexities from multiple—and frequently opposing—perspectives, all of which are methodologically and academically grounded. Chapters conclude with a comprehensive literature list for further exploration of original sources. Additionally, each chapter ends with a summary highlighting key definitions and viewpoints. The use of vibrant and engaging examples renders the text accessible for bachelor and master students at business schools, as well as professionals in international business.
