Business Ethics

Description

For undergraduate business ethics courses. The ethical training business students need to be successful in today's challenging business world. Recent scandals have created a mistrust that has spread through the entire business sector, jeopardising public confidence in the stock market and economy. Now more than ever, it's important for students to understand the moral foundations, rules, and implications that are vital to the core of business. Business Ethics presents an in-depth introduction of business ethics that emphasises the role of ethics as a critical part to management success.
