Ethics Theory and Business Practice

In a globalised marketplace, professional integrity requires more than just following a code of conduct; it requires a sophisticated understanding of how different cultures and philosophies define morality. This comprehensive exploration of business ethics shifts the focus from "what" people are doing to "why" it matters, using diverse theoretical perspectives to illuminate the ethical landscape of contemporary trade.

Key features of the second edition:

• Comprehensive Theory: Dedicated chapters for a range of ethical frameworks, now updated to include additional non-Western and critical perspectives. 
• Practical Application: In-depth analysis of contemporary case studies and real-life scenarios, including a broad range of topical issues. 
• Critical Engagement: Features ‘Pause for Reflection’ boxes and discussion questions designed to challenge students and develop independent ethical judgment. 
• Multimedia Learning: Integrated video activities from contemporary sources to engage students with complex ethical dilemmas.
