In doing so, it considers the overlap and synergy of casuistry and virtue ethics, the similarities and differences of casuistry and the business case method and the relationships between emerging and well-established cases. The goal of the book is twofold: to provide a distinctly practical method for moral decision-making within the context of business and to illustrate how contemporary vexing issues are similar to those of the past and how they might be resolved satisfactorily.This book has a two-fold purpose: to provide a distinctly practical method for moral decision-making within the context of business, and to show how challenging contemporary issues are similar to those of the past and how they might be satisfactorily resolved.
