Description
This book is a concise overview of the relevance and application of moral philosophy to all those involved in business and employment. It is the ideal introduction for beginning students of applied philosophy, business or management ethics. It focuses on the ethical aspects underlying the decisions people in business make every day, and at all levels within an organisation. The book addresses questions such as: What is unethical in business practice? Do businesses have ethical obligations beyond those underpinned by the law? Is it merely foolish to conform to laws which are not enforced? It also explains why and to whom ethics matter, and why it is a mistake to think that business and ethics cannot and need not mix.
