Business Ethics and ValuesFT Prentice Hall, 2003 - 332 pages Offering a successful blend of academic theory and concrete issues, Business Ethics and Values is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students with or without practical experience in the business world. With chapters reflecting a series of lectures, the book serves as a self-contained course in business ethics, assuming little prior knowledge of business ethics on the part of the student. Crucial to this new book is the way it introduces the student to the complexities and principles of ethical issues through the medium of real-world case examples and simulations. These features aim to stimulate debate and enable the reader to appreciate and understand the relevance and many-sidedness of ethical arguments. Features
The authors Colin Fisher and Alan Lovell both work at Nottingham Business School. Alan is Professor of Organisational Accountability and Head of the Department of Accounting and Finance.

'A cultured, pragmatic approach to improving moral decision making in business organisations with provocative exercises and simulations sure to engage readers. [The authors have an] uncanny knack for revelatory exercises, simulations, sensitivity to historical and cultural backgrounds of issues, and a daring approach to operationalizing the ethical decision-making process.' Dr Joseph A. Petrick, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. |
