Ethical Issues in Business: A Philosophical Approach (8th Edition)

For one semester/quarter courses in Business Ethics, Business and Society, and Ethical and Legal Environment of Business. This widely used business ethics text begins by introducing students to moral reasoning. A collection of readings and cases from both philosophical literature and business articles apply ethical theory to real-life business situations. Well-known scandals involving companies like Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Merrill Lynch, and Parmalat have increased public awareness of business ethics, underscored its importance, and ushered in a new era of increased corporate regulation and governance. Now, more than ever, a student planning on entering the business world, and anyone working for a corporation, investing in stock, or even interacting with businesses will benefit from a basic understanding of business ethics.Patricia Werhane is the author of 'Ethical Issues in Business: A Philosophical Approach (8th Edition)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780131846197 and ISBN 0131846191.
