Business Ethics: Ethical Decision Making Cases [Paperback]

Packed with cases, exercises, simulations, and practice tests, the market-leading BUSINESS ETHICS: ETHICAL DECISION MAKING AND CASES, Tenth Edition, thoroughly covers the complex environment in which managers confront ethical decision making. Using a proven managerial framework, this accessible, applied text addresses the overall concepts, processes, and best practices associated with successful business ethics programs--helping readers see how ethics can be integrated into key strategic business decisions. Thoroughly revised, the new tenth edition incorporates coverage of new legislation affecting business ethics, the most up-to-date examples, and the best practices of high-profile organizations. It also includes 20 all-new or updated original case studies. I believe this author and this book to be one of the best in the industry. Each new edition appears to adequately cover all new and emerging topics. -Victor Lipe, Trident Technical CollegePart I: AN OVERVIEW OF BUSINESS ETHICS. 1. The Importance of Business Ethics. 2.
